The article, The Virtues of Blogging as Scholarly Activity by Martin Weller was an interesting read.  Weller talks about the many ways that internet blogging can be positive for scholars, teachers. authors and many more.  I thought it was interesting how he brought up the fact that citations of journal articles can be boosted by Twitter.  I never thought of that aspect of blogging before.  Weller also said that just because blogging may work for you or many others, doesn't mean you are limited to just blogging.  People can video blog on YouTube, or a podcaster.  Weller says that our academic ecosystem is much more complex now than it ever was before, and I agree.  We need to learn how to keep up.
