Blogging is a Must. A comment links to a post on Ideal
Intellectual Communities.
Features:
"people who aren't competing with each other for funds, status,
recognition, or employment"; "wouldn't be limited to the traditional
options of journal article and monograph"; "mixture of academics and
nonacademics"; "enough room for idiosyncrasy".
Janet comments on local intellectual communities:
[...]Can't wait for that to happen. It's already started in places like San
there are lots of
interesting and gifted people around, we just don't know the right ones
- locally. As blogging and other tools that (a) expose the brilliance
and interests of those around us and (b) give us ways to engage with
each other get better, I think we'll find andcultivate IICs in our communities.
Francisco. Use the GeoURL,
Luke. (Special plea to Blogger, Typepad, LiveJournal,
et al.: take a cue
from deviantART - make geotagging ridiculously easy and users
will love you for it.)
