**Q1**
What does the/your edublogsphere look like right now - ethnically, gender, age, race, nationality, religion, subject area, higher-ed vs primary vs secondary, inservice vs. preservice etc.

Don't subscribe to blogsTwitter Avatar hard to tell How do you select - who is going to give me perspective. Echochamber vs. Ethnochamber Preservice - mostly female PK - 8 Blogs vs. Tweets - Tweets are social bridging Societal Shift My Space vs Facebook Look for practitioner Diversity in how much education people have - veteran life. Ideological diversity is missing.

**Q2**
What would your ideal edublogosphere look like?

The ideal space not the choir People nasty - diversity of thought Finding a good teacher for your learning style - People most divergent thinkers can be the most frustrating Micro-blogging makes it harder to be respectful"I respectfully disagree" uses up a lot of characters. Getting people who can shift my beliefs. New literacy - be able to shake beliefs in 140 characters.We have the same conversation and nothing changes.Higher ed - disconnected from the field.

**Q3**
Should your edublogosphere change? If so what would you do to add more voices, make it a more representative place?

It needs to be a more conscious decision. To look specifically for people that are more diverse in various ways. How do I have time to add the new voices. Building capacity to have more things happening at the same time - the star trek collective So many streams of thought. Got rid of blog roll for a year Stopped reading the "rock stars" Looked for people with no comments. You are in my reader if I read one of your posts and I'm still thinking about it the next day. Following the little fish back to the cave 75% of the blogs have 75% of the blogs in the blog roll. Anyone who has been blogging for a while has a moral responsibility to look for new voices and leave a comment and blog or refer to that person.
