BLOGGING as a phenomenon is transforming the web into an exciting participatory forum. Still, many of us are not that familiar with blogging, and are not yet regular blog subscribers or contributers.
Blogging is about more than just putting your thoughts down online; it is about connecting with and hearing from anyone with an interest in your topic. The fastest way to understand blogging is to try it out by becoming a regular reader or a contributer to a blog.
Blogging has become popular with many professional communities of practice. ASTD National has begun its own blog. Check it out at http://tdblog.typepad.com. They have some interesting posts on a recruiting top talent during the recession, Wal-Mart’s new T&D strategy, and on new technology and social networking, among other posts/comments.
