CCCC presentation

I enjoyed your presentation at CCCC.

Hey, thanks!

I'm glad you liked it. This and other feedback I've received have been an enormous encouragement to continue in this vein of research. Thanks again!!! :-)

your presentation

It is a good topic. It would be interesting to take a random sample of blogs from a variety of sources and do a rough count of topics(subjects?) and then compare that to readership counts. One then could engage in a rhetorical analysis to better uderstand what leads to popularirty, and what is being shown about gender and bias.

Torill's links

Hi, Clancy --

Did you happen to see the links Torill posted to Blogsurvey and to Blogging by the Numbers? Might be some useful stuff.

Links

Hadn't seen the first one, but I knew that Perseus does pretty regular studies. I should check out the method they use (it says it's based on management reports). They have records for Blog-City, BlogSpot, Diaryland, LiveJournal, Pitas, TypePad, Weblogger and Xanga, but imagine if they added Drupal, Movable Type, PostNuke, Greymatter, Bloxsom, Tinderbox, etc. etc.

Re: Links

Indeed. In fact, one wonders why they don't. Also, according to the C&C weblog (which I'll admit I don't check that often), there's the new Pew report on Content Creation Online, including weblogs -- which I'm sure you may have seen already.

You did say you were looking for lots more things to add to your reading list right now, didn't you? ;)

Mike

The More the Better!

Oh, yes, I've already read almost everything there is to read in rhetorical theory, composition theory, philosophy, history, classics, feminist theory, tech comm theory and research, cultural studies, what have you.

Anyway, I thought of some more tools--tBLOG, the Lycos blog tool, the AOL blog tool (cringe), Salon blogs, oh there are many more.
