I saw a letter encouraging alumni of a particular educational institution to join the alumni association that devotes an entire paragraph to a noteworthy membership benefit: access to the library’s electronic resources. It’s nice that the alumni association grasps the importance of that access, even if it’s just to market membership in their organization.
Membership has […]
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.

I read that the […]
The Dowbrigade writes about the challenges of categorization on blogs, especially when blog platforms aren’t conducive to robust category systems.
I’ve been considering buidling some hierarchical categories in Manila manually, like Blogging–Corporations or Blogging within Libraries, then depicting them nested in the category list. To the user, it would look nested. The software shouldn’t care whether […]
Here we go again on another quest to find a blog post. Search engines, categories, and patience can only get us so far. I remember reading it. The blogger remembers writing it. Why can neither of us find it now? One of my fears, of course, is that the server ate it and no one […]
Indeed.
I wonder what happens if I do this.
Or how about this, this, this, and this simultaneously?
I couldn’t believe my ears the other day when a fellow blogger told me /I don’t spend enough time blogging/. (Yes, Mom, read that again. Tis true.) He also expressed annoyance at my weblogs scattered to the wind because he actually wants to read many of them. He prefers people who blog in one space […]
