More from Supernova, this time from David Weinberger, talking about Howard Rheingold:
Every time power decentralizes, there's an opportunity for innovation. How might the new decentralization give rise to new forms of collective action?
So, if blogging results in a decentralization of scholarly publishing, what innovation can result?
Posted by liz at December 9, 2002 04:44 PM | TrackBackProbably an obvious observation but it seems to me that the interest with research blogging is not so much that scholarly publishing has found a new medium but that other researchers get to see (and often inform) the progress of other people working in their field. It is like having an opportunity to peep into someone's working journal and see the thoughts and arguments before they've been polished and smoothed out.
