BlogTalk: Ethan Eismann on topic weblogs and knowledge communities

Ethan Eismann talks about topic weblogs and knowledge communities.

Ethan talk about best practices for topic blogs. I feel that this approach is a bit too formal. This could help if you want to use weblogs to discuss things with students or to create a formal channel on a topic for your customers.

Still, it’s worth checking the presentation for guidelines in case of implementing weblog focused on a topic in settings you can control (e.g. corporate blogging). The link should lead to the presentation, but so far it’s broken.

The “problem” I currently have with the notion of »topic weblogs«: Sometimes there are topics not clearly defined, with blurry edges, experts that even do not know that they would be considered an expert to that weblog. Would they find that weblog? Would they actually search? Would they be attracted?
