In the spirit of passing time at Christmas, and following on from a heated discussion about the meaning and robustness of community in online environments, I invited 100 of my 1,276 current Twitter followers to fill in a quick survey cunningly designed to provide a fairly wonky measure of community allegiance.

I am sure all the people in the U&I/JISC Emerge community who keep and read blogs already know about the "Eddies": the annual Edublog awards, but if, like me, you spend too much time under stones down the bottom of the garden, you might have missed it. Our own Graham Attwell and Cristina Costa are hosting an awards party ...
