Groove and IM for me is so backstage whereas Blogs are front stage. I've been in a groove radio experiment where one of the bloggers took a transcript of our discussion and posted it to his blog. For me that was startling at the time now that I've been blogging for a while it would not be. Later though the space got so messy that one of the Groove participants deleted the entire workspace loosing all the records that had not been posted, for the bloggers this was unsettling.
Russ Lipton has an interesting mind bomb about the connection between IM and weblogs, in a discussion thread started by Dave Winer:
Use case: several in my workgroup have weblogs. We hold an IM meeting remotely. Feature-enable so any of us can save the IM session into Radio outline in our Radio copies and/or restrict saving to a designated editor so the group can decide who is permitted to 'control' the session. Minimally, the brainwork is now in my Radio knowledgebase ready for reuse. Or, allow 'blog entries to create transient (a day or so) chat sessions as a discussion forum. 'Blog publishing plus IM presence. Groove does a lot of this already, so alternative efforts would have to be standards-based. Very interesting. [Swimming with the Razorfishes]
