Weblogs are online journals and link-sharing tools. New feeds are also shared which update on the "syndicator" site as it is updated on the "sydicat-ee" site.
Technically, these sites use a set of tools that are XML based, allowing them to help the Weblogger organize and share their information, as well as provide a structure for more efficient searching and categorizing.
In my church, there are several people very active in many different organizationas or advocacy actions, and most of them are sending emails around which point to this or that resource on the Web. Weblogs are the ideal way to keep people in touch with the News that interests them most.
My own site where my web pages reside now has a blogs subdirectory where I have started off on this quest to glean communicative treaures and features to help us capture some benefit from this new set of features. The bnice thing is, Weblogs and Blogs have been created within the Open Source Software movement, and so things are shared everywhere, and people are writing Plugin tools for many of these Weblog tools.
Any of you out there seen this happening, and/or started your own? What are your observations?
I am going to start supplying links to helpful Introductory Weblog articles that explain what all the fuss is about. Eventually, as I learn the ropes of crerating a News Feed and getting it going, I will start an Ecunet section of my blogging subsite.
I use a tool called RadioUserland that is a nifty offline editor that provides some easy interfaces to help me prepare and publish Weblogs, News links, and Categories (see my opening attempts and comments at http://theoblogical.org/dlature/blogs
