This is getting really interesting - and glad the national context angle is getting broadened here. Great, thanks to you both.

No juicy gossip there but some tips, the occaisional news item and various queries from time to time. And who knows - maybe even some posts from other LSE PhD students!

Then I thought I would try to make a groupblog with my fellow LSE students but it seems to have turned into mainly a blog by me about the academic side of my brain. And then I became a father and started my first really personal blog (but this one is a friends-only LJ I have done what I can to keep under wraps). But since I am writing my thesis about personal webloggers and currently examining their relations with their readers it should come as no surprise I think carefully about communicative contexts!

You mention 'national context', and I agree that this surely influences the way academic blogging emerges. You might want to check out the "Hard blogging scientists" (http://www.hardbloggingscientists.de/?page_id=14), a loose network of academic bloggers (mostly) from Germany; the manifesto is in english. I'm doing research on Social Software and occasionally blog in english (http://www.bamberg-gewinnt.de/wordpress/archives/category/english/); another example would be Tina Guenther's Sozlog (http://www.y-design.de/cms/tguenther.de/wordpress/?cat=16); Tina is a sociologist with a focus on markets and organization.

The blogs aren't open at the moment, but I'm of course interested in all academic uses of blogging. My partner uses them to keep academic and clinical researchers in touch with each other in her discipline. Can't make AOIR, sadly.
