I took a look at my logs and i'm guessing that 1/3 of the people who read my blog are my friends, 1/3 are people who work in the area that i do and 1/3 are Ani DiFranco fans who know me through my Ani page. Interestingly, about 1/3 of the blogs i read are friends', 1/3 are other intellectuals and 1/3 are LJs of folks that i only know digitally. There is a certain amount of social appropriateness to linking to other researchers. And my friends can for the most part ignore those pointers. The problem is that most of my friends don't really intend for others (professional folks or other friends of mine) to read their blog. The sad part is that i fail to give public kudos to their efforst in an attempt to be socially appropriate. Zay – it’s hard to figure out what is best.
