DISQUS

Editing is consist of two points I guess. first is to correct something and the second is to update a latest news to avoid creating new post with the same topic.

Well, IMHO... there is no real negative side effect of multiple times editing. Just make sure of one thing. If your blog engine is Wordpress, pay close attention to the Wordpress update services. every times you edited your post, you command Wordpress to "Ping" the Search Engine. And if you edited your post multiple times too frequently in a short time, you will flag the search engine for the "ping spamming" issue and causing the ping server to ban your blog.

You can use wp plugin called "Smart Update Pinger" to prevent this problem. It will only ping the server if you have new post or timestamped post, not an edited post.

That's my 8 cents ;)

I am editing for corrections or fast updates (I posted about something yesterday and today it got turned upside down already) but rarely touch old posts.
