Blogs in the American Society of Association Management

Blogs are really penetrating into some of least porous organizations, the associations.  In the  Association Management Magazine there is an nice article, although basic, about Blogs and their implications to associations and businesses.  The article in last month's edition gave a nice overview of the technology, some helpful insight on topic and content, as well as some technology solution suggestions.  This month the Association Management Magazine has an article on Pod-casting.  As a member of an association I am pleased to see that they are leading an innovative march towards using high technology to move mission.

I'm thinking of starting a blog community where those of us in the AM community with blogs can readily find one another...

ASAE isn't interested in this, so I have a feeling this will be a grass roots/volunteer effort...

What do you think?

I think there are a few great ideas for what you want to do. A good start is to get a badge so that as you find bloggers engaged in similar efforts you all can badge each other and note your affiliations. You can also get a robust blogroll and engage the other blogers to co-author and cross-post. I like the idea and wish you good luck with it.

There's the blogoclump (www.blogoclump.com). It's a great group of association-related bloggers. There are a few of us, and I'm pretty new myself. ASAE has been good about highlighting the phenomenon, but I don't see them having a full-on blog. Why would they need to tho, when they can tap into their own members.
