A contraction of the term ‚Web logging,‘ blogging can best be described as a form of micropublishing. Featuring no or very low start-up costs, few basic infrastructure requirements, and ease-of-use, it has enabled users to publish their thoughts and ideas without barriers. In a very short time, blogging has moved beyond a niche activity for the hyper-extroverted to becoming the backbone of a new Internet communications movement. Although often deeply individualized, Web logging has revitalized the idea of online communities: many blogs have moved from obscurity to having a large and devoted readership-many blogging sites enable people to link their blog to other blog clusters, based on topic and the interests of the authors. Blogging has also transcended its first early use as a simple online diary. Enterprising alternative news outlets have expanded the concept by turning to Web logs to reach their audiences, easily bypassing mainstream corporate media. Family members use the software to keep in touch with each other. Musicians chronicle their tours for fans and press. Software developers document the development process of popular applications and solicit feedback from their user base. Blogs in Academ: What, then, is the potential for blogs in higher education? Certainly, offering students space for creating personal content and commentary is the primary application. But the number of uses for blogs are limitless. As a tool for extending learning and encouraging communication and community, blogs are expertly designed to seamlessly integrate the endeavors of many students and faculty. Read more.

Although most see blogs as better PR vehicles, some companies are experimenting with blogs for informal, ground-up knowledge sharing: ‚Knowledge software often requires employees to take both an extra step and extra time to record what they know, and to fit their knowledge into a database of inflexible categories. Internal blogs are more integrated into a worker’s regular daily communications.‘ http://www.fastcompany.com/magazine/81/blog.html

His explanation ties in with what we observed couple of years ago: they are personal stories that embody tacit knowledge. Doc puts it nicely: ‚they are about sharing and growing what we know and what we can tell.‘ http://doc.weblogs.com/2001/06/06#releaseEarlyReleaseOften Talking about tacit knowledge, I found this interesting experiment on testing your tacit knowledge. Try it out; its fun. http://www.sveiby.com/articles/TacitTest.htm

[…] UThink is available to the faculty, staff, and students of the University of Minnesota Twin Cities. All you need to login and start blogging is your U of M Internet ID and Password. You can create as many blogs as you want, and attach as many authors to those blogs as you want. A faculty member could have a blog for every class he or she teaches, and attach the students in those classes to his or her blogs as authors to encourage discussion and debate. A student could also have a blog for every class, or just use blogs to express opinions and viewpoints about world events. A student could also create a club blog, or a blog for his or her friends, and also attach as many authors to those blogs as he or she deems necessary. Faculty could also use the blogging system to track a research initiative, or even publish the drafts of papers they are working on. Somit scheinen sich Weblogs nun langsam, aber sicher auch an weniger elitären US-Universitäten insofern durchzusetzen, dass sie erst einmal jedem Studierenden oder Lehrenden an der Uni angeboten werden. Vor ungefähr einem Jahr haben die Prestige-Unis Stanford und Harvard damit begonnen, ihren StudentInnen Weblogs anzubieten (siehe ‚Noch mehr Blogs an US-Unis‘ vom 07. März 2003: http://bildung.twoday.net/stories/10606/ ). Es bleibt abzuwarten, ob die Weblogs in Minnesota genutzt und auch durch Veranstaltungen vor Ort entsprechend unterstützt werden, und ob andere Unis nachziehen werden. Eine deutsche Uni, welche allen Studierenden Weblogs anbietet ist mir leider bislang nicht bekannt. http://www1.umn.edu/twincities/ http://blog.lib.umn.edu/
