Vanessa Vaile commented on Michael Shade's blog post Why blog?
"Neat blogs... some rendering me downright envidiosa. I like the idea of having a blog just to stash material. Before the death of geocities, I opened accounts just for file manage space. Years back I had the notion of using static pages the way I…"

Mariel Amez commented on Michael Shade's blog post Why blog?
"I loved your post and followed some of the links. Impressive handling of toponymic identities! BTW, the Ning posts are public: you don't need to be a member to read them."

Michael Shade commented on Berta's blog post On social networks and my internet anxiety ...
"Berta - a great post and a lovely picture! Is he tweeting?"

Michael Shade commented on Maria Rosario Di Mónaco's blog post Comment on David Weinberger and Andrew Keen's debate
"Maria - I love the mind map! I came to very similar conclusions when I saw this during last year's Multiliteracies course. Here in the UK the BBC has just started a TV series on The Virtual Revolution, and they have made the original interview…"

Michael Shade commented on Vanessa Vaile's blog post blogging v microblogging
"Vanessa - your discussion of how you use blogs confirms what I have felt all along - a blog is a publishing platform, you can use it how you like. This post is prompting me to do something similar - set out what I use blogs for - but I think…"

Michael Shade commented on Hanaa Khamis's blog post How Spezify Works
"Hanaa - I think you only get a page that is recognisably your own if you have a unique username - as you appear to have! I have accrued several different ones, none of which are unique, so it doesn't give me a page of my own, unfortunately :-("

Michael Shade commented on Vanessa Vaile's blog post (M)iGoogle and other aggregator pages
"Vanessa - you've got me looking at iGoogle again - I set one up a couple of years ago but don't seem to have looked at it since. I've been using a static web page (public) to keep all my links to my own stuff, and haven't yet…"

Michael Shade commented on Vanessa Vaile's blog post tag, you're it
"Vanessa - I think your last paragraph points up some of the issues raised by tagging. Everyone has their own criteria, everyone interprets significance in their own way, and this applies equally to those posting material and those looking for…"

"Thanks Michael... Technology is evolving at a supersonic speed and I think if we'd try to follow it from all ends we might nowhere..its better if we learn to make connections...sooner the better Regards Bindu"

Michael Shade commented on Maria Rosario Di Mónaco's blog post My first entry
"Maria - many thanks for the 'Internet también crea marginados' article. I used to do a topic on 'La Brecha Digital' with my Advanced Spanish students, using a reportaje from the Spanish TV programme 'Informe…"

Michael Shade commented on Jennifer Verschoor's blog post How to use Wordle and Rss
"Jennifer - it strikes me that there are only two sizes in this diagram, and I suspect the small words appear only once, the big ones twice, in the original sample. If that's the case it doesn't really tell us much at this stage. It would…"

Michael Shade commented on Kaija Tuomainen's blog post Week 2 - getting more involved
"I've also been wondering about Personal Learning Networks, so I watched the talk you refer to. They whisk through many of the tools we're dealing with here, in less than an hour - talk about overload! However they don't really discuss…"

Michael Shade commented on Yvonne Caples's blog post Catching up!
"Yvonne - 2 great posts! I found Michael Wesch's lecture inspirational when I saw it last year, and agree wholeheartedly with your comments on it. In the more recent post you comment on the role of digital technologies in modern life, and…"

Michael Shade commented on David Corp's blog post Entry 1
"David - I was going to ask what the umbrella was, then I clicked on your profile photo and saw 'Barcelona' and realised - the umbrella's a sunshade :-) . Don't worry about missing things - you can always go back and pick them up…"

Why blog?

Prompted by the first part of Vanessa' post here on the Ning: blogging v microblogging, I have just posted some thoughts on my own experience using blogs: Why blog?

Don't worry, I'm not Andrew Keen in disguise, it's a rhetorical question :-)
