Old and Interesting
This 2005 Business Week article on the explosion of blogging is interesting. It looks at the rate blogging was growing at the time and cautioned business not to ignore blogs. There are some specific examples of businesses using blogs, perhaps the most interesting being the GM example. I'm not sure how much that will help them now, but look for the stuff about GM. The link to their actual blog is here.

Linking Social Bookmarking to Blogs
Today, I've added my social bookmarking website to this blog. This will link the small well of knowledge I have gained about ID and Web 2.0 (very small well) to the blog for this class. If you're having trouble linking your social bookmarks to this site, you can use the layout and add a gadget, or you can follow the steps in my del.icio.us link list.

Social Bookmarking
Call me crazy, but it seems that Social Bookmarking would have more uses for academia than blogging. I see hundreds of ideas for education and training. A class-accessible collection of resources about a given topic.
Right now, I work for emergency management. There is no single place, that I know of, where all the FEMA, OSHA, Federal, etc. documents are listed or accessible. It would be great to have a site that focuses on Emergency Management that had all the new and old relevant resources.
For education, the ideas are infinite. A social bookmarking site focused on interpretations of the balcony scene in R&J. This list would fill my blog a little much, so I think I'll leave it up to your imaginations to fill in the rest.
Anyway, I joined del.icio.us for social bookmarking. The username is chewie146, so feel free to take a look at my empty page. I haven't bookmarked anything yet, but I may today.

Web 2.0 and Blogging
I used blogspot because it's owned by Google, convenient, and I already have a gmail account. It seems easy enough to use, and I believe I can do most of what I want to.
More on the blog.
Personally, I'm a pretty big shooter, hunter, etc. I may use blogging to discuss/share my opinions and ideas about those things. There is a new bill in the House Committee that might find some space on my blog.
Professionally, it's an avenue to inform fellow workers about new developments in company and national policy that affect individual people, comment on recent happenings, or perhaps share information about projects, etc.
