Somehow I was drawn into doing a vanity search for the article that I wrote last August (about which you've no doubt heard too much from me already). Two interesting new references emerged.

I found a blog written in Japanese that has a post referring to the article. Dying for a translation, I went to WorldLingo.com and got the following (italicized):

Librarians are great filters of information and relying on a select group to provide your daily information can be a great time-saver.

Being calling filter, so without being, it is from the just a little

Reason #4 - You are unique.
One of the problems with librarianship is image. Stereotypes of librarians abound. Publishing a blog is an opportunity to demonstrate your individuality

The other new reference I saw was an actual citation in a grad school paper, entitled "Blogs as Tools of Preservation." Although the author could seriously use an editor, there is an interesting discussion of authority, credibility and community, all of which leads to an interesting, if somewhat flawed, conclusion. In what I consider a bizarre connection, this paper refers to the same "Librarians are great filters of information" bit that the Japanese author does. You'd think it was the most significant piece of information to be gleaned from my article...and maybe it is.
