Community Blogging. So anyhow I have been stranded by the weather
for the second time in as many weeks, this time thanks to a
snowstorm in Toronto. I'm on my way home from Northern
Voice where I delivered this talk, an analysis of community
as it emerges in blogging: how it is formed, how it should
reshape the blogosphere, and how it can be implemented
(quite easily) technologically. And along the way,
deflating a few pet concepts of the blogerati, such as the
value of the long tail and the utility of tagging. The main
link is to the slides (about 9 mB); I have also posted an
MP3
of Community Blogging (about 6 mB) (Also
available here).
Commentary on the talk in the blogosphere has been
widespread, so if you don't want to listen to it, you can
read summaries and opinions from any of these sources:
a
whole minute, Nancy
White (who with Jon Husband was influential in
its creation), Blogaholics,
Mark
Hamilton, Lee
LeFever, Northern
Blog, Ryan
Schultz. I also sat on the Blogging in Education
panel: here is the MP3
of Blogging in Education and here is a summary
by Nancy White. By Stephen Downes, Stephen's
