Thanks for sharing, Scott. Everytime I read my blog stats, I figure I’m one of the blogs that falls into the “DASA” group–Deserves a Smaller Audience. (smile)

Pete (Ed Tech Journeys) did a nice round-up of blogs as well.

Over the last month, I have had a definite feeling that something is missing from the blogosphere. I’m not sure what it is, only that it’s not achieving the same level of depth I grew accustomed to. Maybe it’s my own changing perspective, or there’s something to the argument that blogs are fluff. This may explain why some edu-blogs are digging deeper to try and change the world with their writing.

To be honest, I’d rather see individual bloggers change…that goes for me, too. That authenticity just isn’t coming across. Again, that may also be a reflection of my perspective.

I’ll go read some books and maybe the feeling will go away. (smile)

With appreciation for you,

This is a great idea to aggregate all of this content into one feed. Thanks for sharing. And thanks for including my blog.

You’ve already got Scott Schwister – to me as refreshing as they come, because he rarely talks about tech stuff, and he’s a fantastic writer (and person). http://higheredison.typepad.com/higheredison/

Many thanks, Scott. As always, you have your eyes on the bigger prize and model a fresh approach for the rest of us. DABA humbly accepted.

By the way, very cool way to organize feeds. I can see immediate application possibilities for professional development—for instance, setting up a group of feeds around a PLC theme. Reminds me of the process a WebQuest designer goes through to preview and organize rich resources suitable to the task at hand.

Hey, you could market this as a fragrance. DABA little on the wrists and behind the ears. . . .

Maybe not.

Scott, thanks for the reference to the F-List. I hope that together we can give venue and audience to these great voices. I love the idea of streamlining the feeds. I learn so much from your blog;I am inspired by your leadership. I look forward to the great learning and conversations in 2008!

Thank you! I really think if we want more new voices, more diversity, we need to be deliberate in our efforts. This should definitely help. I know you want to see more administrators blogging/being read, but are you going to have some teacher blogs too?
