Tom and Sabrina are both wearing t-shirts with “BLAWG” written across their chests. Tom just explained the derivation of “blawg”, and gave credit to Denise Howell at Bag & Baggage for the origin of the term. Nice. (Maybe this means my shares in B&B will go up?!)
Types of blawgs (Sabrina):
- Academic
- Practicing Attorneys
- Knowledge Management
- Law Students
Sites cited with screen shots:
- Balkinzation
- Donna Wentworth’s Copyfight
- Bag& ;and Baggage& ;(“long list of new blawgs, mixes personal interests with her practice”)
- Ernie the Attorney& ;(“great list of blawgs, loves techie gadgets”)
- How Appealing& ;(“one of the best examples of a practicing lawyer’s weblog”, cited his coverage of the Michigan case as a great example of live, first-person coverage of breaking news)
- SCOTUSblog
- The Trademark blog
- tins& ;(Tom doesn’t appear to know I’m in the audience! And he still says nice things about the site.)
- beSpacific (Sabrina’s blog)
- inter alia (Tom’s blog; “As a lawyer, I’m interested in helping lawyers learn how to use the Internet to be better at legal research, how to be better computer users, how to protect their computers, etc.”)
Sabrina& ;just mentioned& ;RSS and explained how the syndication of weblog content is a powerful extension of weblogs. Suggests e-mail subscriptions as an alternative to RSS subscriptions. (She provides this service at her site.)
