Weblogs


- Artigo da Rebecca Blood publicado no The Guardian sobre blogs. É mais um comentário meio repetido de todas as idéias dela, mas tem alguns pontos legais.

This is not passive news consumption. Neither is it broadcasting. The average blogger has time to surf the web, but no resources to report stories. Some bloggers will follow a news story to the end, some may lose interest after a few days. Commentary will range from the fully-formed to the random blurt and can freely mix the public and the personal.

All this represents something new: participatory media. And it matters. Not because of its resemblance to familiar institutions, but because of its differences from them.
