I usually listen to CDs when I work, but I’ve been in kind of a slump recently and I haven’t been playing them. When I worked on Saturday, I needed to know when the football game was over, so I dug out the radio and turned it on. Seeing it there on Monday made me [...]

A few of the Harvard bloggers are getting anxious without the rankings page. I was checking out some stats the other day and noticed something intriguing. The Dowbrigade is worried about me sneaking up on his blog while no one’s watching, but he has more than five times the hits on some of his popular [...]
Christina points to the articles in this special issue of Communications on the ACM about blogging. Steven also mentions the issue.
Bill Ives discusses Information Diffusion through Blogspace, about tracking memes in the blogosphere.
