I gave a talk at the Social Software course [course blog in DK] at ITU today. Martin and Kasper who are running the course have done a great job of compiling a list of academic articles related to social software, blogs, wikis etc.


I also updated the Danish Research Blogs list (Danske forskerblogs). I'm looking into the state of the Danish Research Blogs Blogosphere as preparation for a talk Im giving this friday on Research Blogs at the Royal School for Information and Library Science.

Oh, and for the talk today I looked at the Danish Knit Blogs. Turns out 19 Knit blogs signed up for the Blogtjek survey, around 76 Danish Knit blogs are around, there are also a nordic and an European Knit blog community and a Yahoo Group for "webstrik" (webknit) with more than 500 members. It is clear that though many of the Knit blogs dont not link very much and have no blog roll, knitbloggers know each other and are careful to follow some of the same "knit blog genre" norms that seem to define the community. I so want to do a small paper on Knit Blogs now, there are such great material for a "blogosphere cluster" study in there. If you know of any previous studies on Knit Bloggers, please let me know!
