First IL Con-Grunt
(Note: a "con-grunt" is a blog comment about a conference; derived from "ref-grunt," which is blogging about reference work. Source: Steve Cohen.)
Here are a few juicy tips about blogging and RSS from Internet Librarian 2003, broken down by presenter. Future con-grunts from IL 2003 will cover search, usability, and XML/XSLT.
Liz Lawley:
- Over 50% of blogs are written by women
- Personal blogs are like googling a brain
- Things said about blogs today are the same things said about the Web in 1994
- Aggregators lose the visual environment of what you are reading
- Allconsuming looks for blogs with ISBN numbers
Greg Notess:
- Search blog/rss search engines
- Daypop includes blogstats
- Daypop is basically from one guy
- Check out daypop word bursts
- Check out waypath.com , www.bloogz.com, and blogrunner.com
Jenny Levine and Steven Cohen:
(Also see their post-conference addendum, which includes excellent "getting started" tips, such as how to get a free feed on Bloglines:
