The Art of Blogging
George Siemens of elearnspace provides a succinct intro to blogging in the context of information flow, including rss. Html based presentation so no plug ins etc required. I like the diagrams especially in terms of potential for dialogue and sourcing information.
George writes:
"Some Trends with Content and Information:
- Two-way flow - creator and consumer of content can interact
- Questioning bias
- Increased dialogue/discussion
- Voices given to individuals
- Decentralized - power pushed to the edges
- Increased equality among nodes
- Modularization
- Pliable connections (or connected specialization)
- History given to knowledge/learning that used to vaporize"
