Whispers into the Void: Personal Reflections on Academic Blogging

Melissa was relatively late to blogging – beginning to blog in
2005, believing it was part of her academic role to use the type of
technologies often talked about. In this paper she will give some
personal reflections on the role, impact, and benefits in
maintaining a personal academic blog, the relationship of blogs to
micro-blogging (such as twitter) and how actively maintaining a
digital presence can benefit an academic’s career.
