Collating
I felt like I should take a moment to collate some things from surfing the past few days, so that I can move forward rather than dwelling on them for now. The time-slices are thin.

Dennis’s (Meme)X Marks the Spot:
Theorizing Metablogging via “Meme” and “Conduit” is the sort of thing I wished that I would hear at C’s, but didn’t. It’s from the same conference that featured Oliver Wrede’s excellent Weblogs and Discourse paper that I noted in passing a long time ago when I was contemplating the footstool. Thanks Dennis. -
While I’m noting papers from the Blogtalks 2003 conference, I might as well insert a link for Lilia’s Blogs: The Stickiness Factor. I am deeply concerned about this question not only in terms of the adoption of blogging, but the sustainability of conversations regarding blogging inside disciplines like composition.

I’m sure there are other things I’m missing, but since I really must return to visual rhetoric and get away from all this digital stuff for a little while, I wanted to drop some breadcrumbs to return to. My blog is being transformed from a footstool to a notepad, for the moment. Of course, that never lasts long.
