The Dowbrigade on the Blogs and Knowledge Management Talk

Michael Feldman, aka the Dowbrigade, writes his thoughts on the style of blog posts, based on what Christina Pikas talked about at Thursday’s blog meeting. She referred to Amy Gahran’s post about blog styles–a post I thought I had written on in this space, but apparently not.

A few notes of clarification on the Dowbrigade’s intro: The presentations will be part of the ASIST Annual Meeting 2004 session Blogs and K-Logs in Knowledge Management on Tuesday, November 16, at 10:30 am. The contents of the presentations aren’t all that secret. Follow the link to the Thursday blog meeting talk above and you’ll find some abbreviated notes on them. The presentations themselves will not be available publicly until after the panel. I don’t think they’re based on any papers. Mine certainly isn’t.

Does anyone know any jokes about feeds and knowledge management? Michael suggested we make our presentations funnier, but quite frankly, I can’t think of any jokes about feeds and/or KM. Feedster gives a few first lines, but no matter how many times I search, I can’t seem to get the punchline to come up. (That’s supposed to be a joke.)

Okay: here’s another joke: I’ve been trying to find certain resources on feeds and KM for my portion of the panel. I received an inquiry that led me to my Feeds department the other day. There’s a lot of relevant stuff there. I probably wouldn’t have even thought to flip through those posts. Why didn’t I think to look there? Here I am: preparing to speak on blogs, feeds, and KM and I don’t even use my own blog for KM.

I need to learn Personal Wisdom Management. Part of that might be not trying to be funny on blogs. (Was that another bad joke?)
