klog stands for knowledge weblogs, or weblogs used in a corporate IT setting. I'd like to coin the phrase mlog to stand for marketing weblogs, or corporate weblogs that are customer facing. for example, i would like to subscribe to the LeapFrog mlog, so that I could stay up-to-date on new product releases, software updates, innovative uses, as well as corporate news. In other words, I want to get the LeapFrog corporate newsletter, but in weblog form. You can even give me a personalized RSS url, so that you know me each time I request an update. what are other mlogs I'd subscribe to?

This month I have continued to update many of my stories.  Those with the most additions and updates are shown below with links to the respective stories.  The most volume of recent input to my stories categorized here as NEW A B C D. Blog Books - still stands at a dozen choices - I have now got my hands on a couple of them, and I have inserted brief overviews of what their contents are all about.  C Blog Money = a few more ideas. D Blog Software directory - I have not added much in the way of new links to software providers, but rather most of my recent additions have been expanding details about what each has to offer that is different, and links to more info. A Blog Software Types - this is a NEW story (2 pages long) started today, supplementing my Blog Software directory, by helping understand the fundamental differences that are out there - off-site / on-line / Radio mixture, and stating major advantages and disadvantages with each kind. Link Services is a story that I started last month, and periodically been adding to, with respect to syndicating your weblog. D Understand Radio Categories = additional nuances.  C Understand Radio News Aggregation got a major rewrite expansion (now 6 pages), to clarify some jargon and concepts that had not previously been spelled out in what I thought was a satisfactory manner.  I am now making heavy use of analogies, comparing aspects of this to how TV News shares the headlines. A Understand Radio Referers - periodically I add additional nuances to this big picture. D [Al Macintyre's Radio Weblog] Great stuff here! 9:55:19 AM

John Hiler has a... John Hiler has a dynamite overview of Blog Software Types, from the perspectrive of what might be deisrable to an end user, which I am just summarizing here.  I have added a bit to his conclusions.  This post has stuff in the format ... if you are THIS-GOAL then the best weblog software tools for you mght be one of the following.  This does not neccessarily imply that if you are NOT that goal that you should steer away from those suggestions. If you want to run a community discussion group blog similar to Kuro5hin or Slashdot, then the best Weblog software for you might be: LiveJournal, Manila, pMachine, Scoop, or Slash. If you are a programmer who loves to play around with open source software, then perhaps the best for you would be Bloxsom, Moveable Type, or Radio Userland. If you are an end user who just wants to publish your own web pages with a minimum of hassle, then perhaps good weblog software for you would be Blogger or Moveable Type. I am still sufficiently a beginner at all this to see what if anything is incomplete about this picture. [Al Macintyre's Radio Weblog] 9:50:04 AM
