No pressure here! It is 11:27 on May 24 and I'm rereading articles on Web 2.0 in an attempt to remember what I thought so I can respond and meet the Tech Challenge (or at least come close.)
On the SJRLC blog Peter Bromberg writes about the difference between a BLOG and a listserve. I think the most significant difference is indicated in the first sentence below and after several months of thinking about this, I find it reassuring.
Since the blog content is "pulled" by you rather than "pushed" by us, we can be more liberal in sharing content. For instance, we may blog about a cool presentation on customer service, or an interesting blog post, that is not exactly library-related or a cool website on wikis.
Writers of blogs can put as much of themselves "out there" and it need affect me only as much as I am willing to "pull" at it. I confess, I do read Read Roger (Roger Sutton's -of HornBook fame - blog about children's books and reviewing) regularly.
After reading John Blyberg for 30 minutes, I have decided to retire and spend my days reading and writing in blogs. That is the only way I could possibly have time to follow to their logical conclusions all the threads that go into and come from his blog and those lnked from it.
