[blogging and academia]

After the very interesting NLab Seminar on Blogging and Social Software (which generated a nice amount of chatter in the blogosphere) I found it very timely to receive an e-mail advising me on how to add blog citations. At our NLab seminar we were wondering whether blogs could really be considered as academic writings or theoretical posts. I guess this is an answer: yes. Why else would the online community be interested in being able to academically reference blog posts? It's really wonderful to see a group of people out there who aren't so wary of new technologies/software that they remain closed to possibilities. I find this development quite encouraging. Now, to create a blog citation application which works on blogs other than Word Press ones....

(I would also like to note that one half of the team who created this great plugin is a woman: Julie Meloni, who worked with Jeremy Douglass)
