musings about blogs 3

well, not so much about blogs themselves, but more about how to talk to people about blogs.

Specifically, this musing is a request for your thoughts about how you’d go about designing a session for a training program for community organizers about the blogosphere, how it works, its potential value for community organizing groups, and how to engage bloggers around the issues community organizers are addressing.

I’ve been working on this idea for the past few weeks, and will start to get some ideas up here in the coming days, but I wanted to get this idea out in the world before the weekend in hopes that some of you are thinking about this very thing right now and want to share your thoughts.

Weekends tend to be good times for me to think about things like this, so if you’re inclined, please share your thoughts and help start this conversation.
