I've been studying Web 2.0 "social networking" -- blogs (web logs), content aggregation, free tagging, etc. -- for a full academic year now, and so I decided it's well past time for me to start my own. This online journaling activity will provide an outlet for me to document my thoughts on various topics that interest me. I'm sure some entries will be of little interest to anyone except me. On the other hand, hopefully at least a few of these postings will be interesting and helpful to those of you who stop by to read the D-Blog.
