Christina Pikas has been live blogging the NC Science Blogging Conference. Interesting stuff.

Craig Roth has some interesting thoughts in Why Do We Care About Top 10 Lists?. I particularly like his setup of the idea of a "permanent Top 10 filter" and his description of the value behind social filtering.

Stowe Boyd has just given me about the best description of why I like blogs in comparison to wikis. In blogs the author shines through. In wikis, nothing human shines through.

A friend of mine is working with Marilyn Martin on a few projects. He pointed me to her interesting hand-drawn graphics at Rather Graphic.

I spoke today on the Blogs and Wikis in the Corporate World panel at ASIST. My topic was one of my favorites, around how blogs can support formation and maintenance of communities. Slides available.

John Tropea has followed his list of 20 blogs with "Blog network as your social filter" where he says he really doesn't need to know what blogs I read. Rather, with several good social filters, it is fairly easy to get a good picture of what is happening in any given topic area.

John Tropea has given us his list of 20 blogs I'm currently enjoying and encourages the people on his list to do the same. So, here we go - I managed 18.

Chris Garrett has a nice list of suggested ways to use blogs as a piece of the project management communication puzzle.

Noreen Kelly pointed me to Bly's Theory of Blogging: "Personal productivity is inversely proportional to time spent blogging."

The incredibly prolific Chris Brogan gives some hints as to how he does it, and he encourages anyone else as well with "100 Blog Topics I Hope YOU Write."

Another set of LinkedIn Questions, but I don't think I am going to continue this process on a regular basis.

Priscilla Palmer has started a massive List of bloggers who write on Personal Development. I've been included as well as ~200 others who write in this space.

Interesting article on "GTD for Bloggers: The Art of Stress-free Blogging" from Leo Babauta at Web Worker Daily. He leaves out "reading blogs" in his list of work, and I suggest some additions to deal with that.

Anjo Anjewierden has a beautiful post, where he describes Weblog data as art with the image here.

People who have been following my blog for a while have probably seen me reference Brandon Wirtz' thought that Blogs are just a front porch. I like this particular analogy enough that I tossed it out as a topic at the BlogHer unconference.
