I follow a lot of news. Tech bloggers have an interesting conversation. They occasionally even expand their horizons. There is very little conversation automation, though. My scan shows just four of us doing any blogging from an independent view and five company-oriented blogs. I've quoted Sharon Rosner's SCADA 2.0 blog. I'd quote Control Editor Walt Boyes, but I've already picked on ISA enough--and that's been his latest rant. The last one is from England, The Industrial Ethernet Book.
On the supplier side, there's Steve Pazol's M2M blog. I've referred to it a couple of times. His blog does not allow comments. So I send my comments, and he answers them if he cares to. The site is not feeding now--waiting for new contributors, he says. Then there's Opto 22's Blog. Benson and David show some creativity in their posts. Nick Belardes does two blogs, featuring Pro-soft Technology and Profibus (not sure that they are "official" but he also refers to his novel writing. And finally also in the M2M space is a blog by Sensor Logic called Machine Blog.
One last pointer is to Jim Pinto. Don't think it's really a blog, but there is some interesting stuff there.
I'd like to see a few more with a little more interaction. Yes, it takes work to do these, but it's a great new way to communicate.
