Also, I'm starting to think that brevity in blogs in general is a thing of the past. As a couple of last week's readings suggested, we've moved beyond the "linklog" blogs where all we do is link to interesting things and provide a few comments about those links. While those blogs still do exist, there are fewer of them than there used to be. And while libraries/librarians could/can do a great job of doing this sort of link "curation", I've become more of a fan of blogs where the library/librarian has a human voice and tells the library's stories.
