Classifying subjects

adamnation.org classifies its postings, taking a cue from three bloggers (and only 34 postings total) that the writer considers "A-list bloggers." His categories make some sense:
  • link to another story, blog post, or item of interest
  • product info/how-to
  • issue analysis or commentary
  • original reporting or scoop
  • company plug
  • self-promotion or personal
So I looked at this for my own -- with a significantly larger number of posts. I had to adjust my list just a bit, because I don't really do any "original reporting," except about local small businesses or student-run businesses that I have a direct connection to.

My feeling was that this blog is mostly about how-tos in business writing, and a chronicle of several start-ups I have been working with. So my own categories are
  • link to another story, blog post, or item of interest
  • business writing/how-to
  • issue analysis or commentary
  • technology analysis or commentary
  • company or business practice analysis or commentary
  • student-run or local business update
  • shameless self-promotion
...and you can see the result. I thought I'd had more to say about tech, but I guess technology is passing me by. Add one to "self" for this post. :-)
