Query: blogs as primary online interaction tool?

Christian Crumlish

Nancy White from Full Circle asks (on the Well, in the blog conference):

Are any of you familiar with a community of practice that uses a blog or a collection of blogs as their primary form of online interaction tool? If so, I'm very interested in talking to them as part of a tech study we are doing on technologies for supporting distributed CoPs.

White also points out some slides from a presentation of this study.

Metamemewatch: Minding the Planet: Paul Ford's Ftrain is in full effect and from it I ended up at Nova Spivack's Minding the Planet, wherein he asks the musical question Do You Like This Blog? Help Me Spread It Like a Virus!... If you like this blog - help me spread it like a virus to... (Memes)

Continued Category Chaos: Well, per my last entry, the fix listed fixed some problems but the category/navigator links still look messed up. Again this seems to have to do with when things are re-rendered. Frustrating.... Apologies for the design inconsistencies as I try to resolve these technical difficulties. In other news, I just opened... ()
Fuzzy Rules!: Working on my list of Radio problems and wishes: Switch from FTP and back left address/link artifacts Themes rendered incompletely in categories/not updated fully How did I fill up 10 meg so quickly? Will I still be visible in the Salon Blogs community if I move over to my own host,... (Salon Bloggers)
Open Source Radio Handbook: Scott of the Fuzzy Group is releasing his Radio documentation as an open source book, since O'Reilly used only a fraction of it in the Radio chapter of the upcoming Essential Blogging: As the author of the O'Reilly Essential Blogging chapters on Radio, I clearly have a commercial interest in Radio....

Feels Like a Transporter Accident: Sorry for so many posts about the technicalities of this specific blog. It's frustrating. Radio still thinks my home page is over at my own site, so the 'before' and 'after' navigation points over to the mirror, as do the navigator/category links. The calendar links point to the blogs.salon.com address, so... (Salon Bloggers)
Ten Meg Limit?: I'm still not sure what I'm supposed to do when I've filled the 10 meg provided on the Salon community server. I've pruned a few unused graphics. It's hard to believe I've upstreamed that much text! Also, after publishing a copy of this site to my own host and then switching... (Salon Bloggers)
Just Paid for Radio: Well, my trial was almost up so I just paid for this copy of Radio. Feels good. Now for some reason, though, it seems like my posts from today (Tuesday) aren't showing up on the home page. Also, and I don't know if this is related, I have only 1% of... (Weblog Concepts)
Business 2.0 says 'Accountability Is Always in Style': In Business 2.0, Rafe Needleman writes about a "dashboard" product to help VCs monitor the status of their investments: Dotcom flameout notwithstanding, the need for this product is greater than ever. Venture firms still have billions of dollars invested in technology startups, and there are a lot of people worrying about... (Best Practices)
Why Does Newsweek Spell Blog-osphere Like That (With a Hyphen)?: Just got around to reading the Steven Levy article on blogging in Newsweek online. It seems like a fairly accurate and balanced, if shallow, introduction to the concepts. One interesting comment he makes in a kind of phony blog they use to illustrate the concept is that if there are supposedly... (Memes)
