If you Blog on Wordpress, Your Users Can Now Help Edit Your Blog

The new Wordpress plug-in called GooseGrade
allows one to do that. Is there an end to this seemingly
all-encompassing interactivity and collaboration? If you have ever
blogged, or are blogging now, would you like your users to be able to
correct your mistakes? As someone who has occasionally let a typo creep into a blog post or two, I'd be humbled by this possibility, but I am not sure i like it. Good thing is, seems like you have a choice to review the corrections before they get posted.

Are you an Academic? Why Are you Blogging?

Luke over at cac.ophony. quotes the following:


Early in The Edge’s life, Rauchway answered the question, “Why Blog?”  I was particularly struck by his fourth reason:

To change the profession: be the academic discourse you
want to see in the world. You want historiography to move quickly, have
relevance, be sharper? You can’t make it that way book review by book
review: but you can if you blog.

'nuff said.
