On Monday, the National Public Radio program Talk of the Nation discussed blogging with Lev Grossman, who wrote the article for Time magazine Meet Joe Blog, Dan Gillmor of The San Jose Mercury News, who was at BloggerCon, Steve Rubel of the blog Micro Persuasion, and Ana Marie Cox of wonkette.com. Another blogger and the [...]
A guy named Chris is using an Orkut Community to try to organize a meetup of people in the Boston area who use Orkut. Does a face-to-face meeting negate the purpose of online networking? (That’s a joke I shouldn’t have even tried.)
I am considering using PowerPoint for my presentation to some business school librarians on Friday. I happened to uncover the June/July American Libraries containing the article End PowerPoint Dependency Now! A former student of the author’s rants against his use of PowerPoint in class. I saw some negative buzz among librarians in the blogosphere about [...]
Where have I been? I’ve known about the Internet Scout Project and subscribed to their report for years. Today while doing an Internet search, I stumbled across their weblog.

Now the authors of other articles scheduled to be published in the particular issue of Clinics in Occupational and Evnironmental Medicine are withholding their articles to protest Elsevier’s decision not to publish the article.

Someone asked me about using password-protected, completely secure blogs. She wants to start a blog for some of her clients, but she’s worried their competitors will be able to get to the content. I replied that I don’t know much about that sort of thing, but would ask around. A friend of mine tried using [...]
Some innocent postings about something else deteriorated into a nifty discussion about weblogs and blogging on Newslib, a discussion list for news librarians. It was great.
