Timothy Burke provides what looks like the outline of a talk on academic blogging. Seems to me that he covers the territory very effectively & I tend to agree with his predictions & formulations. I left a comment at Easily Distracted relating to my experience reading poetry blogs, noting that a lot of poetry bloggers are not academics & that the conversations between poets inside & outside the academy are very useful. At least thy have been to me.
