I broke 3500 hits today. My average is around 700. I’ve had high traffic for the last few days. I don’t know if it’s spiders or people reading my BloggerCon notes, which I think are all finished now. This blog is the third most popular blog on Harvard’s server today. This blog passed 1,000 items [...]
I started this weblog on April 20, 2003, but didn’t post anything until April 21 ’cause I didn’t know what to say. It’s been downhill ever since and I still don’t know what to say. Without the encouragement of such bloggers as Liz Donovan and Dave Winer, I wouldn’t have gotten started. Without continued encouragement [...]
I read some notes from other people about the Librarianesque Session today (linked below). A recurring theme was that the session only raised issues; it didn’t necessarily offer any solutions to some of the problems bloggers face. The authors seemed a little disappointed that they didn’t walk out of the session with concrete answers. This [...]
The Librarianesque Session notes are finished, as is the blogroll (pending additions from others). I also tossed my brief notes for Blogging in Academia up and my jottings during the Blogging as a Business session, which I will probably flesh out when I’m more awake. I guess I didn’t take notes during the Visions from [...]

A public librarian’s letter to National Public Radio’s Morning Edition’s series The Search Engine Wars (which I completely missed because I haven’t listened to NPR in a while) aired this morning. She suggests that librarians can solve people’s problems with search engines: we can help people without forcing anyone to look at ads and we [...]
These notes are for the BloggerCon session Librarians I moderated on Saturday, April 17, 2004. What follows are points in no particular order. I’ve combined some of the discussion with related themes. I hoped to get through my tape of the session tonight, but I just don’t have the energy to do it. I will [...]
I know some of you might be interested in the notes from the Librarianesque Session. It’s after 1 am and I just got home from my BloggerCon social/networking obligations. I apologize, but I’ve been awake for 19 of the past 24 hours and I don’t think I have the stamina to write and post notes [...]
To mark the 300th anniversary of newspapers in America, John Lenger, who is one of my editors, wrote this piece asking whether newspapers will be around in another 50 years. He told me he had a difficult time getting it published and finds it a little ironic that it finally got published on the Web. [...]
Tara Liloia pulled together an awesome list of people who blogged about BloggerCon and links to their posts about the conference. What a huge help for those of us looking for coverage! Thanks, Tara!
