Personal publishing vs. engaging in dialog
Quote: "I feel that somehow blogs provide better context for deep reflective discussions...My guess would be to look at blogs as digital apprenticeship tools: somehow regular reading of someone's blog gives you (at least me!) better context than participating in on-line discussion."
Comment: Lilia Efimova has a running commentary over the last several days on her preference for blogs...vs. discussion tools, writing scientific papers, etc.
