Scholars Who Blog

The Chronicle's article on scholarly blogging is now out. It's certainly worth reading but I can't say I'm overwhelmed: much of the emphasis is on the political science of the blogosphere, along with predictable hangwringing about whether it's okay to blog on topics outside your field of expertise or whether blogging will impede a junior scholar's progress toward tenure. I would have liked to have seen more emphasis on the social software side of things, i.e. the way blogs are reconfiguring the Web as a self-organizing discourse space. Anyway.
