Lessons in Community-Building: An Inquiry into Role of Weblogs in Online Communities.

Both my aggregator and Knowledge Board discussion bring new "blog research" name: Nurul Asyikin needs help in her study: 

Tentatively entitled Lessons in Community-Building: An Inquiry into Role of Weblogs in Online Communities, my thesis will focus on two matters: how webloggers perceive the concept of virtual community, and the effects of technical and design factors on the development of virtual communities.

[...]I am mainly in need of webloggers to interview. If you maintain a weblog and are interested in contributing to the ongoing dialog concerning the issues of online human behaviour in general, and virtual communities specifically, please contact me. I can be reached via ICQ (UIN: 115135696) and email.

Good to see more people focusing their research on the weblog phenomenon.

Dave W. continues to tease. How long have Radio users wanted to update our weblogs via the outliner? Seems like forever. That's a feature that'd be worth the yearly update price. [Steven's Notebook]

When can I get my outliner? Like Steven I've been waiting for this next bit of power out of Radio. As a matter of fact, I began using Radio and its precursor Pike more for their outlining capability than anything else.  Weblogging came long after the value of outlining. Wouldn't it be great to put the two together?
