Ivan (The Trouble With) Tribble has quite a following. If you have forgotten or never read it, Ivan is a psuedonym for someone who thinks blogging is a bad practice for professor wanna bes (See Bloggers Need Not Apply from the July 8, 2005 Chronicle of Higher Education– at least they had the savvy to […]
If I were a student in Blog School, the parental note they send home from my blog teachers might bear the comment, “Alan writes a lot, but he does not blog well with others”. What I hope to get at by the end of this ramble is how, to me, in my opinion, this is […]
I’ve always valued a new issue of EDUCAUSE REVIEW — not only is it cleanly published, tastefully illustrated, it typically features a number of excellently written articles in my field. It’s got a comfortable feel in your hands, not to heavy like a scholarly jouurnal, and very readable, but not light and fluffy like a […]
Shazam! Sit back and watch/listen to Brian Lamb’s first screen cast, “Beyond the Blog”, a whirlwind tour of weblogs, wikis, RSS, aggregators, flickr, social software, and more. Best quip, “Think of delicious as blogging without writing a weblog”. Awesome work, Brian, and your fans shall clamor for more.

Going beyond the knee jerk fear/reaction […]
Over on the Learning Circuits Blog, David Lee just posted Blogging by The Numbers about attempts to draw some meaningful data out of this Blogger hosted blog (since Blogger provides no data, he is using the add-ons from SiteMeter and Bravenet. He then asks: * Are there metrics you see as key when looking at […]
Just as pleasant as the Sonoran desert flowers that unexpectedly pop up in the Spring, comes a new blog from our Paradise Valley Community College– the Student Life Blog is not about personal “diaries”, but provides regularly updated program information from the college’s Student Life Center, including upcoming events at the PVCC Coffeehouse, photos, leadership […]
I read a feed, clicked a link, clicked another, and another, and lost my path, but here I am at FeedMap:
FeedMap = Blogs + Maps
Using FeedMap you can geo-code your blog, browse already geo-coded blogs and search for blogs. Once geo-coded, you can get your own BlogMap location using a simple url that allows you to network with your local bloggers and much more!
In theory, it generates a dynamic map with other geo-located bloggers nearby, plus creates an OPML file, brings you coffee, etc.
I monkeyed around enough to get my own…
