Hopefully we may see a few new bloggers emerge as a result of the talk though as ever when I talk about weblogs - some people get the concept immediately and are enthusiastic while others scratch their heads and 'just do not get it'.
It reminds me so much of the early (and at times continuing) reaction to Lotus Notes. I've thought a lot about it and feel it boils down to the fact that some people say 'great I can use this tool to share my knowledge' while others say 'what's the point in this tool - why would anyone want to share anything?'
Most of the audience were more into LIS (Library and Information Science) than KM - so of course one question that was asked was 'what LIS weblogs are there on the web'. At the time I did not know but the following morning while browsing my referral log I came across a link to my weblog from Dr L. Anne Clyde of The University of Iceland who has a whole page of LIS weblog resources. The world moves in strange ways!
