The seminar on Thursday on Libraries and Weblogs was a very interesting event. I took a lot of mental notes during Anne Clyde's presentation: her empirial studies on library weblogs for her book Weblogs and Libraries were interesting, also as an example of a concrete methodological approach to weblog research. Also, I noted the organiser's, Esben Fjord's, blog-feed-site Bibfeeds which collects posts from all the Scandinavian Library Weblogs.

Oh, and it is smartlog.dk, not smartblog.dk, which seems to be a popular Danish blogtool.
TextPattern is another open source CMS, also for blogging, that I didn't know.

In general, I was made aware of several websites and initiatives I hadn't noticed myself. Since I currently want to move into moblog research as part of my more general research into blogging as "live-writing", it was particularly interesting to discover (as an sideeffect of the Blogger intro) that Blogger now explicitly provides the opportunity to "moblog" to your weblog: Blogger Mobile. Also, Microsoft's attempt to move into weblog space: Microsoft Spaces includes the possibility of blogging via one's mobile (and has apparently prompted a new "segment" of Danes to blog, judging from the linked blogspaces on the Danish version of Spaces that I'm automatically directed to).
