Los Angeles Times - ALEXANDRIA, Va. — Across the Potomac from Capitol Hill, on the second floor of a red brick-and-glass building, Caroline Eichenberg toils away in her homey cubicle, watching television. Monday through Friday, 7 1/2 hours a day, she keeps tabs on dramas, sitcoms and reality shows.

Gates Endorses Blogging; Blogging Now
Old-Hat 05/22/2004 02:01 PM

Bill Gates' employees were way ahead of the boss when it came to blogging, but it's good to see Gates' endorsement (BBC) nonetheless. If he gets it -- and he obviously does -- then a lot of other folks are sure to follow. I wonder how soon blogging will become a natural, integral part of the operating system. RSS would be a good start.

bl0gging the DNC convention bl0gging 07/27/2004 02:42 PM
While much of the blogging world has been ga-ga over getting into the Democratic National Convention, it's tough to find anything interesting going on among the convention bloggers (to their credit, go turn on CSPAN today and see for yourself how boring it is). While our own Jessamyn is there (here are profiles of everyone going), I've found the strange CNN/Technorati partnership to be the most useful thing. Technorati founder David Sifry is basically doing a metafilter of all convention blogs over on CNN as the daily blog roundup, highlighting the posts worth reading among the participants.

Also, I seem to have lost maybe 500 emails during the outage. If you sent me some, the chances are very strong you are a spammer, in which case, go to hell.

"Does the world need another blog? I am sure several have appeared while I typed this. This is probably more of a thought experiment than anything else but it provides an opportunity to describe library systems work that I am involved in, and some open source projects that I participate in."

I have very limited Web access today, so I won't be doing much (= any?) blogging. Try to carry on without me. I did, however, give blood this morning, the first time in several years. I used to give a few times a year when it was convenient, e.g., when a bloodmobile would drive up to the doors of the building where I worked. Now that I have to get off my fat ass to drive 10 minutes to the blood clinic, I don't do it. If only I could give blood over the Web......

On Monday I'm taping a 6-minute segment for Greater Boston, a local PBS show, on blogging the convention. I don't know what they'll ask me, but if you - worthy denizens of the blogosphere - learn anything new from it you ought to be ashamed of yourself. (I'm guessing, "So, what is a blog?" will come up in the first 15 seconds.) I assume it'll air on Monday night at 7pm, on Channel 2 in Boston. Now it's off to the gym to lose 40 pounds. Also, does anyone have a spare toupee, or a dead squirrel, or something? Thx....

Liz Goes Beyond Blogging

Liz Goes Beyond Blogging 11/04/2003 08:17 PM

I haven't been blogging much because I just found a wireless hot spot (albeit for $8.95 a day), but now Liz Lawley is speaking and I'm happy to say that she is just as interesting in person as she is on her blog. Her topic now is "Beyond Blogging: Where Next with Blogs and Blogging."

Liz is on a campaign to stop using the word "blog" because she thinks it's an ugly word, so she's gone back to using the term "weblog." This, of course, contrasts with Terry Huwe's comment in the current issue of Computers in Libraries that anything called "blogging" has to be a little fun (sorry it's not available online). At this morning's keynote, the panel referred to F. Scott Fitzgerald's quote about being able to keep two contradictory thoughts at the same time, so now I feel like I've come full circle for the day.

"How many of you with you could Google your office? I can Google my brain (via her blog)."

"Bloggers are not a unified community, nor are blogs a unified commodity."

"The term "weblog" will become meaningless because the software can be used so differently and for different purposes. Just because something is called a "book" doesn't mean it's like every other book. We need to start thinking of this as a medium."

"Blogs aren't really on a topic anymore than people are. In the long term, categorization isn't going to get us what I want because you can't categorize blogs, but microcontent (like the Internet Topic Exchange) will."

Liz doesn't use an aggregator for reading blogs because she likes the visual interface of blogs. She likes the binding and feel of books, she likes the native view of blogs.

Liz showed All Consuming and noted that can buy the book or find who's been writing about it. It's too bad she couldn't say you could see if your library owns the book.

Liz is highlighting the community aspect of blogs, especially via comments. Personally, I think it's too bad that libraries don't understand this and always turn off comments. She's also bravely explaining trackback. I say "bravely" because it's already been a long day with four other programs about blogging (yay - a blogging track at a librarian conference!), so I know a lot of those folks are already on overload. I'm still glad she's mentioning it, though, and hey, she is discussing the risks.

Oooh - she said "wiki!" Oooh - and it's the Atom wiki! Daring, daring, brave Miss Liz! You'll be answering all dem questions about wikis now. :-)  "Ego can be a real barrier to collaborative development." Liz says, "Wikis scare librarians. A lot." Heh.

Ha - she just created a page on the Atom wiki called "GuidetoSite and she's building a page. "This is both terrifying and exhilerating to people who deal with information. I'm still not sure which side I come down on."

How do we generate content collectively at the same time? Liz started her blog last year after she read Dan Gillmor's site as he was posting them to his blog. He included notes and links that made her re-think her interpretation of the sessions.

The first question after Liz's presentation is about security and password-protecting blogs. I feel very confident in saying that this is the first question asked after every blog presentation at a library conference. We are sooooo paranoid. The second question is about building community, especially as noted in Liz's class. Now we're getting somewhere.

Blogging Talk

Blogging Talk 06/22/2004 12:39 PM

Blogging's recognition as an important medium is growing. I've gotten several calls lately from journalists writing about or discussing the phenomenon:

Business Week did a story called "Blogging with the Boss' Blessing" (my quote got truncated, but I did say it).

NPR's Talk of the Nation devoted part of yesterday's show to blogging, and had me join the discussion. (The NPR show was sparked by Time Magazine's recent story.) Critical mass is approaching, it seems. Note: I'll be speaking on a panel later this week at the Supernova conference in Silicon Valley. This is shaping up as an excellent gathering.

Rhapsodic Blogging

Rhapsodic Blogging 06/20/2004 11:34 PM

I'm trying to catch up on news because the cable modem at home went bad, and then I had trouble getting my computer back on the network. Everyone else's computer in the house came back online just fine, but no, mine had to cause problems.

Anyway, I opened Rhapsody to listen to some music while reading news, and I realized that the "library" of albums I've collected on this computer hasn't synchronized with the "library" on my computer at work. So I went through the menus to find the "report a problem" feature I remember seeing, and nothing happens when I click on it. Sigh.

Something interesting usually results from things that don't work, though, which is how I noticed that this latest version of the Rhapsody software includes an option to "Blog Playlist." Hmmmm... wonder what happens if I click on that! Guess where it takes me. Go on - guess.

Blogger.

When did that happen? Google/Blogger has a relationship with Rhapsody? Now that is interesting. I wonder what their plans are for music?!

How to Capitalize on Blogging

How to Capitalize on Blogging 02/10/2004 02:48 AM

Today I spoke at Fastlane Ventures How to Capitalize on Blogging workshop. As promised, the slides from my presentation are available in graphic and text-only formats. I’ll probably turn my speaker notes into a set of blog entries or an article when I get the time.

Being heavily involved in blogging, it’s easy for me to forget how outside the mainstream blogs really are. Most of the people I talked to today had only a vague idea what blogs are. I kept hammering the point that blogs are simply faster, easier ways of publishing content. Blogs aren’t some mystic new thing, but the ease of use and informality of the tools are breeding conversations in new ways.

When discussing RSS, someone asked Bill French if developers would blog about the changes they made to an application, could the tech writers use RSS to track what was changed? Later I pointed out to her that the developers already are blogging the changes, they just don’t know it. Every time they commit their code into the source control system and put in their comments, they are blogging it. Those comments could easily be published to the Web in the style of a blog. Those comments could be published as an RSS feed.

Structured Blogging

Structured Blogging 04/04/2005 06:05 AM

I haven't written yet about Bob Wyman's 'Structured Blogging" efforts - partially cause I'm so blown away with it - and how fucking right on fucking PERFECT target it is.

Dude - you rock.

So it also didn't surprise me when Peter Caputa connected Structured Blogging with Events.

So now how far will be before Seb Paquet writes anotehr phd. on it, or Alf Eaton connects it to Flitter and Microcontent Musings' guy connects it to user interfaces in general and Phil Pearson hacks up the whole thing - in a weekend - with Leonard Lin (while flying back from Taiwan.)

Just use the blogosphere to track the hackers and watch the memes spread. Then watch the Web 2.0 entreprenuers weave the mesh into a distributed archipelago - connected by open standards, causeways and bridges.

It's like watching a strethed out, slowed down, choreographed dance.

Blogging the Market

Blogging the Market 01/11/2004 11:20 AM
George Dafermos has posted a paper titled "Blogging the Market: How Weblogs are turning corporate machines into real conversations." Given that nothing is truly comprehensive, this paper edges in that direction. It begins, in the Abstract, with these words and in this tone: Weblogs, in other words, envisage a hierarchy circumvention mechanism, which empowers knowledgeable employees to indulge in conversations with the market rather than communicating solely by means of marketing pitches and press releases and it ends like this: YOU CORPORATE BUREAUCRAT, STANDARDISED VOICE IN THE MARKET WILL BE ASSIMILATED OR ANNIHILATED.
