More on Keren's Blog Smearing

Ides of Books discovers some earlier "drek" by Professor Michael Keren on his bias against bloggers.

Mark Wells does a review of the blogger reactions to Keren, and points out that the blogosphere has given him more publicity than he gets at Amazon dot com.

See my original post on Kerens smearing bloggers.

I think the good professor should pay all the bloggers out of his royalities,for all the PR we have given him.

Lonely Academics


“individuals who bare their souls in books are isolated and lonely, living in a virtual reality instead of forming real relationships or helping to change the world.”

"Academics are living in a world where emotions may be real but everything else is make-believe"

Academics think of themselves as rebels against mainstream society, but that rebellion is mostly confined to ivory towers,

Just replace the words books, Academics, ivory towers with blogs and bloggers and cyberspace and you will get a sense of the stupidity of comments about blogging made by this U of C prof.

More comments by bloggers on his comments are here, here and here
