#cwcon #e13 Is blogging dead? We settle the question in NQ2255. 17 minutes till the fracas starts!

#cwcon #e13 Is blogging dead? An impassioned debate will make a great start to the morning.

super speed roundtable in #e13 #cwcon

Krause: FB & Twitter sucking up bloggers; blogging dead as practice and most useful in relation to other social media around it. #cwcon #e13

Is Blogging Dead? Steven Krause asks, do we mean the verb or noun? #cwcon #e13

#e13 Dilger: commenting is dead. if the interactivity is gone, is a blog a blog? #cwcon

Bradley Dilger -- commenting may be dead. Is a blog a blog if not interactive? Are trolls winning? Moderation requires effort. #cwcon #e13

Dilger posits that blog *commenting* is dead (with a few exceptions). "If the interactivity is gone, is a blog a blog?" #e13 #cwcon

Dilger -- retweets replace trackbacks, Facebook replaces comments. Sometimes this gains community effect. #cwcon #e13

IPad timer woes! #cwcon #e13

Thanks, #e13 #cwcon folks for all the updates. I *almost* came to that one, but I can follow fine from here in #e04

Virginia Kuhn, plans to deliver wisecracks. #e13 #cwcon Rosenberg's notion of blogs. Binaries -- blogs privilege time over space.

Blogs focus on the individual over the convo, text over other media [and is that a problem? ;) ] #cwcon #e13

While we discuss the life & death of blogging in #cwcon #e13, I share C&W Day 1... on my blog: http://bit.ly/kTgSsC Am I blogging though?

Kuhn: blogging is primarily textual, and will be subsumed by other media. (dead.) #e13 #cwcon

Carrie Lamanna. "I have Joyce Walker Syndrome. I say that very lovingly." Academic blogs lack space in academic structure. #e13 #cwcon

See all of Virginia Kuhn's "things I don't like about blog" binaries on her blog (embedded slides) http://is.gd/KHZfyQ #e13 #cwcon

Students weren't using blogs for exploration, but were instead posting polished mini-essays. #cwcon #e13

YES. RT @DennisJerz: Students weren't using blogs for exploration, but were instead posting polished mini-essays. #cwcon #e13

#cwcon #e13 Carrie Lamanna: Making blog postsl assignments fit usual school constraints results in "formal school writing."

Her students liked blogging about personal topics rather than academic assignments. Academic writing is not "organic". #cwcon #e13

@carl_whithaus Yet, I wonder if what I just posted is really "blogging?" Twitter replaced what used to be "live blogging..." #cwcon #e13

E.g. Liz Losh's blog Virtual Politik competes with her book Virtual Politik, for the time of an academic. #cwcon #e13

#cwcon #e13 Is blogging really "blogging" if students must do it for class? Do we count posts? Length? Responses? Is that organic?

#e13: blogs lack rhetorical context. not recognized as scholarship. #cwcon
