> Personal knowledge publishing and its uses in research.
(SOURCE:"high context")-Must read this later today!
<quote>
In this document, I analyze an emerging form of knowledge sharing that I call personal knowledge publishing. Personal knowledge publishing has its roots in a practice known as "weblogging" that has been rapidly spreading on the World Wide Web over the last three years. It is a new form of communication that many expect will change the way people work and collaborate, especially in areas where knowledge and innovation play an important role.

> Manila versus Radio.
(SOURCE:"42")-aka Why Stand Up Eight uses Radio.

I use both Radio and Manila. Radio for http://rolandtanglao.com/ and Manila for http://VanEats.com/

If Radio categories were ported to Manila I would seriously consider switching rolandtanglao.com to Manila. Why? It's cool to have the stuff on your machine as Radio does, but Manila is more stable and more powerful and easily allows multiple authors.

Here's what I would recommend: 1. non-techies: Manila
2. non-techies who are "power users": Manila site edited with Radio
3. early adopters and techies who don't mind doing backups and the potential to really foul things up when experimenting:a Radio weblog

Radio rocks but in all the hullaboo over it, people have forgotten that Manila is more mature and rocks even more. If UserLand had the resources to get a Matt Neuberg to write a technical Usertalk book (or simply revise his old Frontier book) plus a Russ Lipton non-technical book plus a couple of more programmers (bring back the dream team of Dave, Brent and André or somebody who can fill their shoes!) to clean up and enhance Radio and Frontier, the combination would be awesome! I don't think MovableType or any of the other competitors would have a chance if this happened!

The primary reason I use Radio over Manila is the capability of multiple-category posting. The fact that each category can be served up as an HTML page (even to a different server via FTP) or an RSS feed is wonderful, but I am most excited about the potential of the tool. I want to be able to designate a category that sends the content of my post to an email address. It could be an individual or a distribution list of some sort. Once I figure out this capability, my weblog tool becomes a much more robust part of my communication interface. Manila allows categorization via "departments", but only one at a time. Many of my uses for my weblogs demand the data be routed to multiple destinations. I'm hoping Manila inherits this capability from Radio soon... "

> Syndicate Your Page.
(SOURCE:"42")-Look ma, no software! Automagically produce RSS files without blogging software, cool!
<quote>
Do you have a webpage that you'd like to see provided in RSS, a syndication format used by hundreds of programs and read by thousands of people? Now it can happen. All you have to do is add a simple marker around each item, like this:

> Low-cost Klog Network.
(SOURCE:"aklogapart")-This article mentions Movable Type but this could also be done with Radio.
<quote>
The level of investment required for really excellent km tools, such as weblogs, has gotten so low that it is much easier for a relatively low level employee to start a grass-roots movement within the staff if they are motivated. Given the failure of enterprise level KM initiatives and the burst .com bubble, this could be the perfect time to stealth in some web-based knowledge sharing tools. In this article I will discuss how you can create a low-cost knowledge weblog (klog) network using free and/or donor supported software. This method is well suited to the stealthy introduction of weblogging as a knowledge management tool. All you need is one server to host the klogs and you can be off and running before senior management has a chance to quash your initiative. Or take credit for it. :).

Andy Chen talks about his company's product called RabbleRouser. The approach, Four Dimensions of Collaboration, taken to design the product looks interesting. hmmm. The 4d:
1. The Connected Worker (Read Phil's post for more details)
2. The Evolution of the Community
3. The Evolution of the Problem
4. The Problem Portfolio

> The Weak Link.
This sounds about right.  Blogging is in its early days and thereare all kinds of possibilities for improvement to the toolset..  
<quote>
Blogging is definitely in its infancy. The existing tools cover the basicmechanics of aggregating feeds and posting an entry to a blog, but I feelthey could do a lot more to support the thinking that precedes the ranting.What tools are needed? In an earlier entry I mentioned searching for peopleinstead of dead pages, and I would add:
  • finding blog posts that are similar to a given one, both to drilldown on a subject (all posts similar to some post I found interesting) andto find posts of interest (all posts similar to what I post)
  • grouping aggregated items by content similarity, to sort through postsfaster (first all software development posts, later all digital photographyposts, everything else only if I have time)
  • searching on previously aggregated or browsed stuff (if I read somethingsomewhere I want to be able to find it again)
  • integrating local files and mail in aggregation and search (I worknot only with weblogs/k-logs but also with mail and documents on my disk)
  • supporting emerging pattern identification and idea forming (so thatI don't have to jot something down on a whiteboard with an URL next to itto remember it)

> Culture-wide Blog-based Knowledge-Logs.
(SOURCE:"escapablel")-Wow. Great idea.
<quote>
Let's take all blogs' RSS feeds and slice and dice them to aggregate our combined sensibilities. 1) Create a mechanism for people to identify and define the issues they care about, and the major positions that surround each issue. 2) Inspire and help bloggers to structure their RSS feeds to expose which issues they're discussing and where they stand on each issue. 3) Let bloggees indicate where they stand on each issue as they view it. Compile all these data points and let a million flowers bloom.

> Captured in XML.
(SOURCE:"jonu")-Yes, it is sad that Microsofts WYSIWYG control in IE hasn't changed and their still isn't one in Mozila! <quote> Sadly, the tools that capture nearly all of our keystrokes -- e-mail, word processors, Web pages -- can't compose valid XML. Solving this problem is as critical as any challenge facing Web services today. Ideally every operating system would offer a standard XML editing component, embeddable in Web pages and GUI applications. Wired to a DTD (Document Type Definition) or XML Schema, this component would allow users to interactively create or modify valid instances of the DTD or schema. </quote> [Roland Tanglao: KLogs]
