blogs 101

This is a collection of links I’ve put together for our department’s industrial advisory board, which is meeting here tonight and tomorrow. Rather than creating a separate web page for them, I thought I’d put them here in the blog itself, so that the starting point for my demo is this entry.

This is by no means a comprehensive list…just a starting point of resources I think are useful. And I expect I’ll be editing it throughout the day, so don’t expect it to stay static. :-)

Ha! Thanks, Liz. I'm giving a talk on weblogs and RSS and (something else I keep forgetting) in about two weeks so I'm collecting all the resources I can find.

Hey, I'm also giving a blog talk in two weeks (my version's called "To Blog or Not to Blog?"). So thanks, it's a great list that I too will make use of.

Good list of articles.

DebC, check out my page on RSS. It may have things you want to talk about in your presentation. And if you know anything you think I should include on that page, be sure to tell me about it.

>To Blog or Not to Blog
Sounds interesting. I've noticed a lot of talk about reasons for blogging in the last week or so. Search Daypop/Feedster/etc for "why I blog" and I'm sure you'll find plenty.
