My First Blog
“Recently, going through my extensive personal archives I came across my first blog, which seems to have been written when I was in kindergarten. This would have been 1991, which makes me a true early adopter of the medium.” This is brilliant stuff; just read it. Interesting ·

On Wikipedia, Cultural Patrimony, and Historiography

‘Controlled Serendipity’ Liberates the Web

private Wikipedia.” Arts & Culture ·

A good story from Wired about blogs as a meeting point for conversation between all sides of the current conflict that manages to be both positive and desparingly grim at the same time. Arts & Culture ·

A bit too dense for a quick read, but there’s some excellent points raised. Media & Journalism ·
Agnes Poirier: Blogging is not journalism
A journalist completely missing the point of blogging? Never! But in all seriousness, Poirier is anyway wrong in her definition of journalism. It’s neither a hobby nor a profession: it’s a practise [c/o Bobbie Johnson]. Media & Journalism ·
