Josh starts off the discussion with a question about what blogging tools and applications might interest information professionals. Randy mentions Air America radio, which has huge comment threads. Lisa mentions office knowledge sharing systems: the ideal, back in her analyst days, would have been a system like del.icio.us with the ability to selectively share things with clients.
New people! Meghan of Megastyles, Erica (new to the Berkman Center), and Adam Gaffin. Regulars include Vernica, Sun, Randy, Josh, Michael, Wendy, Gregor, Lisa, and j.
New topic: Marc Canter, who is interested in "Digital Lifestyle Aggregators," which gather all sorts of microcontent and media. He's currently on a tour promoting these standards and trying to get social network sites to standardize on FOAF. This will give us a chance to invite a speaker to speak for us, nail down a date (Nov 18), set up our audio streaming, etc.
Adam tells us a little bit about how blog comments are weak and incapable of sustaining community. I agree (of course). Meghan talks about how she got a job from blogging(!) and Boston is nice because you can walk around in your pajamas.
