The first hour we looked at working with a Google Docs document as a wiki. The students seemed pretty happy with the possibility of not only editing a document simultaneously, but also using the chat window to discuss in real time. The option of attaching comments in the margin was also appreciated.
The second hour was used well exploring the use of Blogger. The service is really easy to use. The only a little bit complicated thing to remember is that embedding content from a non-Google service like Vimeo you must switch from Compose to HTML mode. (YouTube is a Google service and embedding YouTube contents is a snap using the Insert a Video button.)
Oh, sorry, for some reason I forgot to publish this post written some days ago
