Write A Guest Blog Post and Make an Impact!

Posted by Brian Kelly on 2nd February 2010

Nicola McNee’s recent guest blog post on “What’s my email address anyway Miss?” Communicating with the Facebook generation” generated a fair amount of traffic on Twitter last week as can be seen by analysing the statistics for the bit.ly short URL for the post: http://bit.ly/dh5BKQ+ .

The 26 tweets which included the URL seem to have resulted in 126 clicks to the post within a period of about 24 hours.   A list of those tweets is given at the bottom of this post to illustrate the viral aspect of Twitter and how it can be used to enhance access to the content of blogs (or other resources).

Nicola has been inited to republish the post in The School Librarian, the quarterly journal of the School Library Association.

We have published several guest blog posts previously including Catriona Cardle’s “The Black Art of Blogging” report on a UKOLN workshop on blogs; Nick Moyes description of “When Peregrines Come To Town“”; Nick Poole’s review of “Collections Trust’s Digital Programmes on the OpenCulture Blog“; Margaret Adolphus description of the problem with “Dull Library Web Sites“‘ and Dave Jenkins on “Google Wave and libraries: a snapshot“.

UKOLN’s Cultural Heritage blog provides a useful channel for those involved in the provision of online services in the cultural heritage sector to share their approaches across the community and gain greater expsoure to their work (we often use the examples provided in the guest blog posts in our workshops and our documentation). 

If you would be interested in making the most of an opportunity to share your experiences in this way, please get in touch. You can contact Brian Kelly, Ann Chapman or Marieke Guy.
