I think whether your links are a tight circle where “everybody knows your name” or whether they are chained nodes of links depends on your own learning (or blog-reading) style.

Do you read by checking off blogs on your own list? I have a few must-reads on mine. Or, do you (as I do most of the time) just sort of spend time reading, commenting, and following link after link. Sometimes I do end up in familiar places – like when I drive around south Philly – sometimes I end up in new places I’d rather not be (how *did* I get off I95 in DC?), and sometimes the journey is worth the triple snooze-hit in the morning (sort of like doing the Skyline Drive at 45mph on a sunny day when all is groovy and your iPod just hit the B-52′s…)

I just made a post in response to your post, but I don’t know how to do a trackback! (Specifically, where to find a trackback address.)

[...] Graham Wegner points out some problems that cropped up in the comments of a couple of education blogs. He comments on the perils of taking up heartfelt issues in blog comments, and assuming we’ll be understood. [...]

I have often reflected on the wider world that edu-blogging has opened me up to, yet also how narrow my world has become because of it, and web2.0. I now choose what I read/watch/hear and what I do not. I rarely listen to or watch a general news broadcast or even view television advertising, as 90% of my media is from the web, ad free. I have MY world at my finger tips, but feel more segregated than ever from other realities.

A beautifully rendered summary of pre-Edublogger award reflection Graham.

It’s probably high time to take your old award nomination down. Must remind Stephan to do the same.

I also summonsed up enough energy to raise a year-weary blog post about fame-whoring, web 2.0 douche-bagging and other such matters before I was reminded in Twitter that I was due in Secondlife to talk about the Skype sessions I’d been running with students using Facebook as a tool to communicate with potential partners and other such matters.

I agree….my readers have eased off and my linkers have increased remarkably. I’m losing track of who’s who and indeed who reads what, why and what for. Web stats suggest that most of of the entries come in via my old blogger blog and exit through the wound I now call a blog on my own server.

Fact is I’m trying to locate where five months of post went after attempting to suck up a years writing in six other blogs.

Kind of felt relieved in a way…..anxious otherwise. Hows the weather your way ? Warming up ?

Say helloooooo to Michael C. for me and send my hugs and love to Maree Jasinski who is in my deepest thoughts now and forever.

All good. …..Blog on mate.

We need it.

Keeps us alive and tickin’.
