I also got to thinking beyond what I wrote and added another, more inclusive post today. When I think about using blogging for processing, I do lots of processing before I write as well as during the writing. I also ponder what I've read and sometimes come up with a comment like right now. I reflect on other's comments, processing and reflections which takes me further than can happen on my own. So Tony's theme of dialogue, taken as contrast to thinking privately in isolation, seems right to me. Perhaps interactivity or interdependence is a better word. <BR/><BR/>I could say "you shouldn't feel guilted into adding comments" but that would book another guilt trip about getting guilted ;-)Tom Haskinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12658791778134826289noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22055982.post-18347380434530586122007-02-16T12:25:00.000-08:002007-02-16T12:25:00.000-08:00Paul - I hope you'll create a post that says exact...Paul - I hope you'll create a post that says exactly that!<BR/><BR/>Wendy - really good insight.<BR/><BR/>Clark - that's an interesting comment. I think that much of my learning comes from reflection, reprocessing, synthesis, and capture. However, what am I reflecting upon. It's normally other blog posts or reading a discussion group. You are right that discussion groups are great for instant dialog and the effect is somewhat similar. My point was that if you had no expectation of interaction, then blogging would not be the same.Tony Karrerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15408035995182843336noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22055982.post-8995772973861313302007-02-16T06:23:00.000-08:002007-02-16T06:23:00.000-08:00Initially, I didn't agree with Tom's definition of...Initially, I didn't agree with Tom's definition of blogging. I started my blog to help myself process some of my experiences.<BR/><BR/>It is to the credit of this corner of the bloggosphere that people comment and link to my posts - forcing a dialog that has been more productive that I could ever imagine.<BR/><BR/>That, and Tom is slowly guilting me into posting more comments through his writing :' )Wendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08148326128914333870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22055982.post-76817167795570163732007-02-16T02:20:00.000-08:002007-02-16T02:20:00.000-08:00I still consider myself a blogger newbie.

I've recieved the odd comment here and there, and recently started adding my own comments to others. <BR/><BR/>This is tremendously liberating - and, crucially, it has made me a lot more productive for my employer. <BR/><BR/>I've now receieved the backing from my own board to deploy this kind of technology throughout the enterprise and encourage spontanous CoPs/Blogs to emerge. And that couldn't have happened without being able to convince them that the personal learning that takes palce when you blog - to yourself or to the wind - had real value.<BR/><BR/>Collaboration isn't just personally satisfying and entertaining - it also makes sound commercial sense.<BR/><BR/>I'm hoping our author/editor community will start to feel, even more so, a part of our business after we have platforms for authentic dialogue in place. I know I'm looking forward to the dialogues that will emerge.<BR/><BR/>I'll keep you posted on our progress.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
