My site is like a blog. I don't update it regularly enough, although I am thinking of doing so (a welcome relief to some on this list, I'm sure). It has links, opinions (rants), pictures - whatever you like, updated whenever I can. Some people do them so often that they may do nothing else. It has become an industry, and it is the next 'wave' of the world wide web. This one is fast growing and updated VERY often: http://www.livejournal.com It enables you to publish - you don't need to watch CNN on tv, or read the papers. Read a blog instead. I remember during the Iraq bombing, the best source of information was a blog written from someone withing Baghdad. Suffice it to say, when the power went his updates became less frequent but he still made updates. At the end of the bombing, he was hired by the Guardian as a staff writer. One feature of good blogs is that they allow rss feeds. This stands for Really Simple Syndication, which is an XML format for sharing data in an accepted standard. On my site, I have RSS feeds from some of my other sites AND for the emails sent to the UC listserv ( http://www.mail-archive.com provides this service - thanks, mail-archive!) So for timelessness and mass distributions sake, you can rest assured that more people than you think are reading your posts! Hah hah, thats funny . . . Harvard has some nice blogs: http://blogs.law.harvard.edu/ One of my faves there is Philip Greenspuns: http://blogs.law.harvard.edu/philg/ I'd tell you more but you should be starting your own blog by now . . .
