With a new entry into the blogosphere, UMass economics now has (to my knowledge)

I was meaning to email you and others about this - wouldn't it be in our common interest (not to mention more ideologically sound) to find some way to make our blogging a bit more collective?
Personally, I'd be happy to merge Slackwire into a group blog, but other folks probably feel more proprietorial. At least, tho, we could set up a single site that would mirror our various blogs. If nothing else, I reckon we'd all get more comments that way.
Alyssa seems to have just started a blog, too: http://snowtreereflects.blogspot.com/
ReplyDeleteTwo things
ReplyDeleteI'm not including blogs like Geert Studies because my purpose in writing this post was to point out UMass econ bloggers (with an emphasis on econ). There's one other blog out there that I didn't consider for this same reason. If you think I'm being too strict with the "econ" requirement ... well, check out some of the list's most frequent posts and it's not likely that there is a whole lot of econ content to begin with. But there is some, and that's really all I'm looking for to include it.
I don't want to merge, but assembling these together does suggest the possibility of some very laid-back collaboration. For example, linking to others' posts and having some commentary on what others are saying. This way we raise awareness about Umass econ as a whole whenever one of us posts something interesting. I'm not saying we need to even set a schedule for this (like "once a month" or something), but I do think that active linking and commenting is a really cost-effective way of spreading ideas.
And of course, I'm open to others' comments on this issue.
i think geert studies has more serious analysis than my livejournalistic disgrace.
