Open Source Radio Handbook. Scott of the Fuzzy Group is releasing his Radio documentation as an open source book, since O’Reilly used only a fraction of it in the Radio chapter of the upcoming Essential Blogging:
As the author of the O’Reilly Essential Blogging chapters on Radio, I clearly have a commercial interest in Radio. You’d think that I’d want people to just buy the Essential Blogging book and NOT give content about Radio for free. You’d think that but you’d be wrong. I really want to see Radio do well along with great people like Jake and Lawrence. And more documentation is pretty much always a frothy good thing for products.
For more info, see Scott’s story on the subject. [via Don W Strickland: RadioFAQ] [Radio Free Blogistan]

Reporters recently asked me for examples of politicians that were using weblogs to campaign. I didn’t have one. Here’s one. This guy should be elected for his willingness to communicate regardless of his stand on the issues. [John Robb's Radio Weblog] I guess this should be considered an E-blog since his running for schoolboard.

Klogging Roles.. I forsee several klogging roles.
- Catalyst. Alpha blogger. Someone who klogs well, leads by example, provokes and inspires others to join a klogging community. If you’ve used Blogtree, naming your inspirations, you know what I mean.
- Coach. The person who helps newbies, builds internal FAQs, nurtures laggards, acknowledges great posts. Soft skills, communication and social skills, are not evenly distributed. The coach helps everyone join and get better. Chief metablogger.
- Armorer. Works with IT to develop configs, scripts, integration with enterprise apps and messaging services. Power macros. Engaging templates. Technologist and architect.
- Practice leader. Informal leaders of subcultures in larger organizations. The one in legal who drives the whole department to start klogging. The rep in the Cincinatti sales office who gets her colleagues to start customer-specific blogs. Watch for lists of like-minded colleagues. They may also connect to like-minded communities at suppliers, customers, and the wild blogosphere.
Action items?
Mix and match.
Many bloggers will perform roles that fit their interests, personality, social status, and skills.
Recruit for excellence in one or more.
Wouldn’t hurt to add these as “nice to have” in job descriptions.
Hire ringers if your community is large enough.
Get full time or contract specialists if it makes sense. If you’re a WiFi company, you could do worse than add one of the bloggers covering your space to your roster. I can see Coaches and Armorers in dedicated contract gigs.
One other point…
I beleive (without hard numbers) that blogging and klogging can improve your personal marketability. I’m exploring this at Bloggers for Hire. Suggestions welcome.
