ProfNet bloggers
Dan Forbush has posted an interesting collection of links to blogs (and podcasts) that are being written by members of ProfNet: How many ProfNet members and experts, we wonder, write blogs that are squarely rooted in their primary area of professional, academic or business expertise?

Undoubtedly not a meaningful stat, but so far we have 5 posts (6 with this one) and 27 comments and trackbacks which includes around 9 as my own responses. Thinking about Stowe Boyd's Conversational Index idea, that makes a CI value of 0.185. Or, looking at it the … [Read more...] about Pay attention to your own commenting behaviour
