writetalk

response to Jeff Cooper's comment

Jeff's comment about the evanescence of blogs intrigues me; no question that my challenge is to keep from hoarding piles of stale blogs -- start a blog, write a lot, start another blog, write a lot. You get the picture. The endurace of an interface like Tapped In has something to do with the richness of the interface and its polysynchronous nature and the human (oh my gosh!) presence. Although blogs offer a range of interactivity (hyperlinks, comments, blogrolling, RSS feeds), all interactivity remains asynchronous.

Blogs hook me cuz I write and I teach writing. Audience & publication are two areas I'm investigating, particularly with my advanced comp. class and blogging there.

let's begin

I'm not exactly sure how to weave this blog into the Tapped In WriteTalk group, but let's see what happens, eh? Layers of technology. Can have multiple authors here. I also thought this would be a good web location for WriteTalk guidelines -- in addition to shared files posted in my office and AAMU Writing Project office at Tapped In.
