What was the function of the colonists' committees of correspondence?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The committees of correspondence ensured that news about the Boston Massacre spread across the colonies and strengthened colonial resolve against the British. The committees of correspondence ensured that simultaneous rebellions were started in all the colonies to dilute British forces available in each colony. The committees of correspondence helped spread the rebellion by facilitating the exchange of ideas and information within and across colonies. The committees of correspondence helped the colonial leaders and assemblies communicate with Parliament about the colonists' rights.

The Committees of Correspondence were set up by Patriot leaders in the American Colonies to exchange information, establish plans for collective action by the colonies, and to coordinate efforts among the colonies. They undermined British and Loyalist efforts, and eventually organized to the point of taking concerted actions, which ranged from publishing the names of uncooperative merchants (those who violated boycotts) to establishing networks of spies in British commands.
