Show n tell exposes sizeable talent
So I was incredibly impressed with thenumber of people writing about Notes on last Thursday's first "show-n-tell"day. It's been especially cool to read some of the blogs and webpages, because they are from new voices. Petervon Stöckel wrote about browsing the web with LotusScript. KevinPettitt wrote about form validation. TimTripcony shared a design template catalog. VinceSchuurman talked about creating PDFs from Domino. EstherStrom solved an offline user's need to compact their mailbox's server copy. IanIrving built a better "save and exit" action button.VinceDiMascio published some code tips, though he's explicitly not blogging.I know that there was some talk at Lotusphere about creating an OPML forDomino bloggers. Not sure that would solve my issue though -- attention,bandwidth, and prioritization. There are so many great new voices,but they get added to existing bloggers...and many of us already are strugglingwith how to keep up with and read all the blogs out there.Put simply, I'm starting to struggle to figure out which bloggers to readon a regular basis. The other struggle is how much bandwidth to giveto "new" bloggers. I applaud all the new voices that havejoined the Notes/Domino-focused blogosphere. But there's an abandonrate in all parts of the blogging world, and instinct tells me that someof these will go dark in just a few months. How are you managing your blogreading consumption? I don't mean froma technology perspective -- I have a perfectly useful RSS reader. Howare you deciding which blogs to read regularly and which ones get droppedfrom your feeds? And, last, who has the authoritativelist? I know TheSickos.com has a lot of Domino bloggers, and thereare a few other sites, but I don't know how to best find everyone I shouldconsider reading.
