Blog anxiety

Mon, 2007-02-19 20:38Lucy Hooberman

I have to confess I felt a degree of panic when asked to give an address of a website or better still a blog along with my profile.  Which is it to be?  The website that represents my working life www.bbc.co.uk  or at a more granular level one of the blogs? from the area of the bbc I work in http://open.bbc.co.uk/labs or indeed the output of the last innovation project I ran to go public at work http://blogs.bbc.co.uk ?  When it gets personal I set up a blog last year to track the research and development of a personal project in the field of collaboration, the digital divide and web tools  www.mentoringworldwide.wordpress.com currently in need of a major update, and some major attention and even more personal a  fledgling blog which is going to have very occasional writings - probably not a real blog at all (yet) www.lucyhooberman.wordpress.com

What I like about this confusion is the more complex degree to which people can represent themselves more fully to others, try out ideas and work and play together. I wonder if I will ever blog every day, but I welcome the space and the chance to connect.

Working across networks

Hi Lucy - I've been playing with Explode since it's launch last week http://explode.elgg.org- it's beginning to raise the possibilities of a less offline, silo-led approach to distributed networks. Plus its been great to see the rapid development of a UK service - they really have been responding to user requests! 

Peep agg?

Interesting comment re: Explode...

Marc Canter seems to be tryingto address the issue of multiple IDs within multiple networks (Flickr, Bebo, Myspace, etc) through his open-source People Aggregator product, which allows you to use any  of your other account logins. I think they are also looking at linking up with OpenID and SXIP, too.
