So you’ve been reading blogs for a while. You get a lot out of it, but you can’t shake the nagging feeling that there has to be more to it than this. Surely you ought to be able to read blogs more easily, filter content more effectively, and maybe even start blogging yourself…

Indeed you ought, and now you can. Alexandra Samuel has assembled her list of 10 tools that tap the power of blogs:

In my own presentations I have talked both about how to use blogging as an engagement tool and how to use blog tools for improving knowledge-sharing and collaboration among e-deliberation practitioners.

To that end, here’s my list of the 10 technologies and tools that together unlock the power of blogging as a very easy and effective way to track news, discover information, and collaborate with colleagues.

(Full disclosure: In addition to being one of the smarter people on the planet when it comes to online deliberation, citizen engagement and blogging technologies, Alex is also my wife.)

    Very handy resource, Markus – thanks!

    Two caveats to folks who want to use pictures from a Yotophoto search:

    • Check the licensing agreement for each photo. They aren’t all the same, and some have restrictions on, for instance, for-profit use.
    • If there are recognizable people in the photo, you may need to contact the photographer to find out about model releases before using the image.
