Cool! Right now, I own the phrase Alwin(er)Logger in Google.

*frenetic happy chair-dance, followed by a very ugly strut in my cube*

So what is an Alwin(er)Logger?

In stark contrast to that which has flowed most recently from the weinerboys, an Alwin(er)Logger has a different mission in life...

First an Alwin(er)Logger should choose another blogger (a person, not the cool app for posting on the web) as their target. The Alwin(er)Logger should keep tabs on that person, and reflect goodness back at them -- by posting on your own blog, by filling their comments system, by sending them email. Exhibiting some of the actions of the weinerboys, but in a "warm fuzzy" way most of the time. Sort of an anti-weinerboy, if you will. (You are still allowed to use your own voice, so if sarcasm is your thing, go for it. But do try to remain uplifting.)

There is the possibility for a sort of a random acts of blogness thing... You could choose to Alwin(er)Log someone for a few days, and then move on and do it to someone else.

You're also not just limited to acting in a solo capacity if you choose to Alwin(er)Log. You and some others might also choose to gang-Alwin(er)Log someone.

I figure there are plenty of other folks out there who take potshots (cheap and otherwise), and anyone brave enough to blog can use a little helping of good every now and then. Particularly with the economy in the dumps (regardless of Greenspan's latest brayings), and so many folks laid off from the tech industry, start earning some good karma points for yourself.

Become an Alwin(er)Logger for someone. There will be at least two folks who will feel better for it.

Got any other ideas for how to be an effective Alwin(er)Logger? Leave your comments, I'd love to read 'em...

File this one away for near future use. This could be very handy for some projects on the horizon...

I'm introducing a course on Knowledge Management at the Kellogg School in April. You can see the syllabus here, which is part of a Manila site I am using to manage most of the course development. One item that I thought would be of more general interest is my top 10 books to read to get up to speed on KM.
