Martin Röll and Lee Bryant discussed weblogs and knowledge management. Martin appears to have spent a lot of time thinking about these issues. Lee has a very interesting case history (Lee will also be at STES next week).
Jane Perrone and Horst Prillinger discussed weblogs and journalism. Interesting presentations. Apparently weblogs are not journalism.
Peter Praschl explores the "weblogs as jam sessions" metaphore.
Webloggers behave like bebop musicians meeting after regular hours in their own clubs, jamming for each other and for a public with a special expertise; are improvising on "standards" while pushing their limits; often define themselves as some kind of elite, avantgarde movement; are always in danger of being integrated by corporate standards; and are, almost accidentally, creating a whole new kind of writing.
