Don't think of it as a Blog... Think of it as an Info Sharing Space
The NYTimes published an interesting tool : http://www.nytimes.com/2007/04/10/business/2007_BUYRENT_GRAPHIC.html
It could be used to illustrate the use of information graphics, create an ongoing discussion of economics, to consider received wisdom (in this case: buying property is always better than renting), to build writing pieces around. I imagine computer science, interactive multimedia educators etc. could have students develop their own interactive graphics using this and other tools as exemplars.

This is very cool. I think your two points are very cogent as well. We focus so much on the first type of use you mention (using, sharing information).
The second use you mention is often overlooked. Programming, computing and representing complex systems are skills that have faded in school curriculum at exactly the point in time we need them most. Every discipline, from science to history to psychology is growing their own branch of computing mathematics.
I always cringe when I hear people say-- it's all about the information (or connections). There is so much more.
