Courtesy of the American Historical Association (and the Cliopatria blog), the historian of China Jeffrey Wasserstrom ponders what historians ought to know about blogging as socio-cultural history and as professional outlet. Some random thoughts:
The group blog has a big future.
There is a distinct lack of blogs on Canadian history, and too many historians who blog mostly talk politics rather than history.
A blog that too often simply links to interesting posts elsewhere is useful but unsatisfying. (Guilty)
