Is the maintenance of project blogs beneficial?

actually I believe so. Yet you have to find out whether there are tools out there that are – in general – even more beneficial, like a Wiki for instance. A blog could definitly be interesting also, that I must admit. 
I recently heard about a programming session a few devs were having. The core was seated in one room and the rest was decentralized across the globe. The means they used to communicate were a software which allowed the synchro altering of the code and they were all connected over an IRC channel which they used to communicate in non-code… That might be referred to as real time mass collaboration I guess ;)  
Yet I would almost go ahead and use an integrated blog/timestamp tool in another solution – something customized. Because a blog is cool approach, but a bit of a broad sword because you need one or more features here (which a blog may not bring along) and can neglect some other tools which the blog-sw brings along but only costs server load, disk space or whatever.

    I’ve seen a variety of tools exist for it, and the options are quite open depending upon the needs.

    One of the keys is that the organization needs to feel as if it is not tied to a single tool for each purpose as there isn’t one good-enough-for-everything tool to capture all of the project discussions, artifacts, requirements and interactions.

    For instance, I’ve found Wiki’s incredibly useful for capturing project requirements and documentation and producing eventual runbooks for a living-use beyond the project.

    Collaboration can occur using a variety of tools (BaseCamp, Sharepoint, others), and projects can be maintained in a variety of tools that provide enough granular access and reporting to suit the audience (and there’s enough Web 2.0 tools out there that promote collaboration within a Gantt-type structure).

    And like your story, I’ve watched and facilitated development, wireframe, demos, and creative interactions using WebEx, Breeze, LiveMeeting and others where you can easily collaborate and flesh out ideas while discussing in a globally diverse group. In fact, in so many organizations where decentralized groups are the norm, even Skype and IM are now mission-critical applications that help cut the time-to-market and facilitate effective project or initiative management.
