Regardless of your personal political views, you should take a look at Brad DeLong's posting at: http://www.j-bradford- delong.net/movable_type/2004_archives/000391.html or here: http://tinyurl.com/37wqu While perhaps not of the rigor required of an academic paper, it is clearly more detailed and in-depth than a standard blog piece. Earlier there had been some discussion of whether weblog activity should be given weight in making academic promotion decisions. The answer is a clear "maybe," with the qualifier being whether the postings, either indiviually or collectively, sufficiently deal with professional issues in the in-depth manner required. My sense of the issue is that weblog pieces are becoming longer, more detailed, and more nuanced. Whether they're at the point now that they should be given weight with respect to academic promotion decisions is really not the appropriate question. The appropriate question is whether that plateau will be reached sometime and when. I'm betting that the plateau will be reached and will be reached very shortly, perhaps with respect to some bloggers in a year or two. ******************************************** Stuart Levine Fisher & Winner, LLP 315 North Charles Street Baltimore, Maryland 21201 Telephone: 410.385.2000 Telecopier: 443.927.7075 Cellphone: 410.802.5817 Weblog: http://taxbiz.blogspot.com http://www.taxation-business.com [email protected] ********************************************* -/-/-/-/-/ There is a read/write Web page with resources that will be linked there and used during the Seminar on PDFs for lawyers and legal applications: http://Network-Lawyers.org/PDFLinks -/-/-/-/-/ Yahoo!
