Jenny Levine--Blogging takes us to the next level. We can focus on content rather than the publishing medium. The library has to come to you. One of the key question is how do we filter this information, how do we determine what we want, how do we know what to shift with us? Where does RSS fit into the future of information dissemination?
Denise Howell--Weblogs have something to add to the practice of law. It provides a certain transparency at a very low cost. It could revolutionize marketing. Goldstein & Howe in Washington, D.C. blogs as a marketing vehicle.
Donna Wentworth--Her first public speech! ("I write because I don't speak." I can understand this...) She has been assigned the topic of blogs and education. Why are blogs important to education? Why does the Berkman center have a blog? At a law school, the Internet is not a delivery system either for information or entertainment product. Blogs have a higher calling--they build on what the Internet does the best, which is act as an open forum for the development of ideas (an excellent point!).
Seth Schoen--(Ha ha. A joke for us law review dorks. Seth traded a UNIX book for a bluebook. He definitely got the short end of that stick, though he claims otherwise). He's told some anecdotes about how blogging can be effective in publishing. (Seth indirectly adds here to the debate on whether blogs can seriously challenge Big Media. He added an anecdote about how it is becoming increasingly difficult for things to be "closed to public" because all you need is one blogger to break open the dam.)
