The broader the topics, the less interested people will become and therefore a decline in postings will follow. This blog is obviously productive because the members consist of a very narrow community of educators. These educators are so tightly woven in their ideas that a blog just fosters their need to communicate new and exciting trends in education. I have not used the facilities of any other blogs because what I have learned on this one is substantial. This blog was very specific to the educational need I had.

I think a good Public Institution should support it. A University, for example. Even better: a Government. How about a Nordic one, they should be sensible to this :-) I will do my best to spread the word. Congratulations James for your initiative. I think a good Public Institution should support it.

They are developing into spaces for digital identity, communication etc. becoming 'common archives' and are pretty much the *only* way we're realising what the true potential of the web is. But you know that. What it means to me is hard to articulate but goes along the lines of a belief that blogs should not be a privilege (in the way having a gym membership is) but should be a right (in the way libraries are). Yes, that involves me persuading some organisation focused on the common good to host / support this... but that hasn't been too hard for libraries, has it? To revisit my 'it's a shame for typepad' statement too... I don't think this puts you in a bad situation at all... in fact it's probably quite the opposite, there's plenty of commercial value in building, sustaining and operating libraries... That's why I'm also investigating blogging based on physical location... http://blogsavvy.net/cityblogs-developing-blogging-communities-based-on-physical-relationships Do you reckon I'm barking up the wrong tree here? I'd be seriously interested in your thoughts. Cheers, James Hi Anil,
