I started this blog on 10 July with a promise to see how it went: I said I'd been told that blogging wasn't a distraction but a helpful way of sorting out ideas and opening up conversations. So what have I learned from the experience? For me, I've found that blogging does several things.
First, it means that I read more attentively.
Derek Gregory offers some interesting thoughts about his experience of running a blog. He discusses some of the challenges, the possibilities, and makes some comments about how this might change the publishing landscape. I don't disagree with his line about the Society and Space open site, though I think it is something that has considerably more potential than we have yet managed to exploit.
Stuart: I agree absolutely about the potential of the S&S open site – I look forward to its full development!
