susan mernit has taken an adequate stab at blogger author classification. of course, blog tools merely facilitate the act of publishing the range of human expression, so it would seem a bit simplistic to stop at 8 categories, but i guess you’ve got to start somewhere. there’s also enough overlap between categories that the power of categorical analysis is diminished.

there must be a more rigorous precedent for this sort of thing in the librarian crowd. i’ll bet jenny has some thoughts.
