Amid what he calls "speculation and scuttlebutt" concerning blogging, Kevin Wiliarty finds a welcome antidote in this recently-published series of essays. True to the spirit of blogging, the contributions are diverse and international, covering a wide range of topics and disparate methodologies, from academic blogging, to blogging as a literary enterprise, to blogging in journalism and beyond. Wiliarty provocatively asks if more "effective usage of blogs is restricted, practical, and collaborative rather than public, expressive, and individual."

NITLE's Bryan Alexander is running an upcoming workshop
to develop plans for launching enterprise-wide roll-outs of Web 2.0
applications such as blogging, wikis, social bookmarking and
podcasting. Wesleyan University, Trinity College and Connecticut
College have developed some tagging conventions within del.icio.us
to share both examples of how these tools are being used in academic
contexts, and lists of candidate tools for implementation. The list of
tags can be found at http://wiki.academiccommons.org/wiki/TagSet. You can also find instructions there on how to subscribe to RSS feeds that del.icio.us generates to keep track of this initiative. And of course, if you have an account on del.icio.us, you are encouraged to contribute your own links to the pile.
