Direction of this blog

July 13, 2006

Inspired by Dave Bouwman’s blog post about an apparent lack of GIS blog conversations, (GIS Blogs: Where’s the conversation?) and taking up another comment that maybe filtered blogs that cut out all the clutter would be advantageous, this is the way I am going to go.

I do not want to be a poor mans slashgeo or planet geospatial, simply inserting links or full blog posts. What I envisage is finding things that interest me, taking out the juicy bits and writing about them. Conversations are not just about adding comments to the bottom of a post, conversations can be found in highlighting other posts and adding value.

The ‘filtration’ I have choosen is to be UK centric, it’s where I am from and where I can relate to. I would best describe myself as a good GIS user; the problem for me is going to be at what level I post. Simple google mash-ups may not appeal to GIS professionals, but talk of a cool .net script someones just produced for ArcMap 9.1 isn’t going to appeal to the ‘typical’ web user. I guess I will have to try a few posts and see where it starts going.

    Welcome to blogging! I’ve subscribed to yoiur feed, and although I’m not in the UK, there are interesting and different things going on over there.

    Cheers!

    Thank you Dave

    Have to be honest though, it is going to take me a while to actually start this off – am in the middle of a distance learning GIS Masters degree at the moment and am soooo far behind.

    Hopefully in the next couple of weeks.
