i've had a quick look, harrison, and there's no switch to throw easily and turn on email broadcast of blog posts. but i know it's possible. am running off for an airplane and a few days of work. will have a think about how to set up such an alert, when i get back. unless ted figures it out in my absence. (feedburner, ted? or another feed service?) thanks, michael

<div style="">Harrison, in case I was the one causing you confusion.... I'll paste in below my short post on someone at IBM writing "...blogs tend to promote understructured, unattributed, and unvalidated discussion." This was a comment on a blog, about blogging, and the link is in the email below, if you want to know the context.

For those who enjoy free flowing and open conversations, validated only by ourselves, it offered an interesting contrast!<div><div><br></div><div>I'm on our town's "Comprehensive Planning Committee" and advocating for some self-organizing citizen gatherings, to increase citizen energy and engagement. I rather doubt that the IBM process is energizing, but maybe I'm wrong about that? ;-)
