Content Delivery in the 'Blogosphere'

George Siemens comments of this item, "Short exploration of blogging as a content delivery tool in education: Content Delivery in the 'Blogosphere'. Personally, I think the article misses the point...blogging is less about content delivery, and more about expression, self-exploration (and in some cases, dialogue)." I agree with this assessment. Blogging isn't about content delivery, it's also about interaction and engagement. Like that fitness link I posted last Friday, blogging is a repeated act of self disclosure - even if utterly nobody responds, you engage with the possibility that someone may be reading. As such, it is as much about assessment, filtering, critiquing, and wrestling with content as it is about delivering content. It's too bad the authors didn't look very deeply into the subject (their reading list is shallow and idiosyncratic) and too bad the editors of T.H.E. Jorunal didn't demand more.
