Interesting sites culled from today's referers:

• History 323: History of American Technology
  KM professors like Jim McGee aren't the only ones using blogs in higher education. This course blog, which also links to blogs maintained by H323 students, is oen component of Pamela E. Mack's course at Clemson. I'm not sure why this one is in my referers, but I encourage Professor Mack to also look into RSS and news aggregation and to syndicate the class blog.
   
• Media Matters: Welcome to the Blogosphere
  PBS explains weblogs: "A long time ago, in the hazy middle years of the decade nineteen-hundred-and-ninety, between the darkest reaches of dial-up and the Ethernet, a creature was born. It was not of this earth but, rather, the first-born child of the Internet. Its name was ... blog." I had added my URL so it's listed on the page, although for the life of me, I can't figure out where the "Lagniappe" comes from. Well, my years of French class tell me where it comes from, but how it ended up as the name of my blog is a mystery.

  What I find most interesting about this page is the disclaimer on it:

  "Please note: The sites listed below have been submitted by visitors of this Web site. In listing the links below, the producers of this site are not approving, supporting, or in any way responsible for the content of the sites listed."

  If PBS can use disclaimers, why can't NPR?
