Too Tired for Original Thought What do you do when you want to record some links, "catch some fleeting thought", and have no time for commentary, annotation? Yet another day in the dilemma of weblog for self vs. weblog for the two-person audience. 6:19:52 PM    comment []

Quick Links on Intranet KM Blogs not documenting, doing. Yesterday I agreed with Lilia that most researchers' blogs don't document research. Today while reading a post on David Weinberger's blog I realised that that's completely beside the point: research happens in blogs, and in the conversations between blogs. Blogs aren't about documentation, they're about doing, thinking and discussing. And they're about catching fleeting thoughts and making them explicit: if I hadn't blogged my response to Lilia yesterday I probably wouldn't have thought about David's post today as research and wanted to rethink yesterday's ideas as I'm doing now.
