Weblogs : Semblogging. From Catalogablog:

Semblogging

The Semblogging demonstrator is now out.

Here are some simple notes for looking at the HP Labs semantic blogging demonstrator The blog is intended to show the use of semantic web technologies augmenting the blogging paradigm, and applied to the domain of bibliography management. For further details about the requirements for this demonstrator, see the requirements specification. We believe that the use of semantic metadata can allow a blog to be used in new and powerful ways.

We have chosen bibliography management because it shows how we can use semantic web technologies to push blogging from a communal diary browsing experience to a rich information sharing activity. Specifically, we have divided the functionality into semantic view, semantic navigation and semantic query.

Weblogs : More on Blogs in Business.

EContentmag takes a look at weblogs in the business setting:

"While it's too early to know exactly how blog use will take shape in the enterprise, the blog has the potential to be a key business communication tool, especially as popular communication methods such as email become saturated. While blogs are still in their infancy and are only beginning to show up in the enterprise, they just may affect business communication in a couple of ways. First, the blog could be used by companies as an innovative way to communicate outside the company with customers (or distributors and suppliers) about a variety of topics related to what a company does. And second, blogs could be used internally behind the firewall as a way to distribute information that changes on a regular basis, perhaps providing a more sensible venue for news than the company portal or, by virtue of their inclusion, provide a compelling reason for employees to regularly visit and contribute to the portal."

Replace RSS with Weblog in that entire paragraph and the article becomes even more powerful. File...Print.

Weblogs : Blogrunner.

"Blogrunner is a portal for blog content. The site features an index of weblog entries from across the web. These entries are grouped together according to interest topics and news stories. BLOGRUNNER makes it easier to track stories and conversation threads that develop across blogspace. BLOGRUNNER also highlights the interdependency of mainstream media with the blogosphere by closely integrating weblog entries with the stories they track from traditional media." (via PR Newswire)

This looks like a combination of Blogdex and Google News.

Speaking of Blogdex, I was thinking that it would be interesting to see subject specific blogdex type tool to get a quick view of what is going on in the library weblog world. We kinda have that at LISFeeds, but I would want to see something that points out what library weblog writers are talking about in any given day.
