Into the Blogosphere
Posted by Liz Lawley
The University of Minnesota has just released a collection of essays on blog research, entitled Into the Blogosphere: Rhetoric, Community, and Culture of Weblogs. It’s edited by Laura Gurak, Smiljana Antonijevic, Laurie Johnson, Clancy Ratliff, and Jessica Reyman. I haven’t had a chance yet to dive into the articles, but it looks like a great collection, with articles from some excellent scholars and bloggers.
The entire collection is online, so you can get some instant gratification in terms of reading, and they’ve enabled comments and trackbacks for the articles (which are also blog entries). Color me impressed!

Looks like someone let the cat out of the bag - when i talked to the editors a couple of days ago, they were still cleaning things up (actual text edits) and trying to get the pages ready to release.
I have stuff in this thing - I don't think its ready to go until they make an announcement / tell the authors that their stuff is published ;)

Too late, Elijah...I read about it in Dan Gillmor's weblog, so the word is most definitely out already.
I also see that Clancy has linked to several of the papers from her site, which leads me to believe that she thinks it's public now. :)

Better you than me - I was still feeling "sworn to secrecy" by Clancy. ;)

Ha ha. :-) We're still copyediting, but it's all good--bear with us, pardon our progress and all that. I knew there was no way to regulate this wild, free end2end network.
