The Content is in the Replies

I know I’m not the only grad student to have realized that occasionally the footnotes of any given text where infinitely more important than the actual text in the document. I think I’ve already harped that blogs will be an important part of scholarship in the 21st century. However, after reading the newspaper posting about one of my colleagues and the Inside Higher Education posting about “The Professor’s Ten Commandments,” I think that like footnotes in some articles, some replies in blog (or blog like) postings will become “where the content is.” With the article about Cyndi, the “story” really emerges in the replies. With the replies in the “Ten Commandments” we get a whole different story, or snapshot, of ideological beliefs in the academy.

Dear readers...do you know of any other blog postings where the “content” is in the replies? If so, please reply below.
