new ways of weblogs
Since I have spoken for the first time here, exactly one year ago, weblogs - or blogs, as now all call them - have come a long way. Indeed, the streets have turn into several. Still not here in Italy, despite all the talk that if he does, but in the U.S. and other European countries.
This kind of self-publishing so fast, personal, telegraphic, impressionist, terribly subjective, has also stormed the stronghold of the world that seemed an enemy and its antithesis, the Journal of journalism and mainstream media.
not to supplant the news articles, the comments to the reports, but rather as their most useful complement.
than a handful of print journalists who also held a book weblog (one for all: Dan Gillmor, a famous columnist high-tech San Jose Mercury News Silicon Valley), and even the major newspapers which devote a section of their website (an example: the British Guardian). Once published articles in print and online, readers are let loose, sending comments and observations, suggesting perhaps a different angle from which to consider a particular issue. A great job for the journalist, who reads, filters, and public responds in real time on his weblog, but also a valuable source of additional data, materials, news, checks.
The "readers'" continually feeding it to the newspaper, it offers new perspectives and new voices. The newspaper online is not the copy bit paper, but does own the most genuine characteristics of the Internet, interactivity and the comparison of ideas and people.
On the other hand, the authors of the Cluetrain Manifesto had been written and said two years ago in the first of their 95 theses: "markets are conversations." Instead, there
who joined forces and talents in a group weblog. Whether this weblog is highly specialized in a niche theme, the result is class-leading: a source-documented and comprehensive resource for news, links and opinions worldwide. It 's the case of E-media Tidbits, the best * resource * (never the horrible Anglicism was more appropriate) on the content and writing online. Coordinated Steve Outing, a group of journalists and professionals from different countries (there are also a German and an Italian woman who works in London) published their findings every day on the web, read them and especially their views (often compared) . Those who receive the digest every morning in your inbox, you can be sure not to miss anything that happens in the world of online journalism and publishing content.
The weblog is the kind of knowledge par excellence niche. Try reading John Scalzi's Whatever business writer or Blough information architect Louis Rosenfeld. The beauty is that when they write their weblogs, including serious scholars as they pass in a style more personal, more warm and informal, stirring readings, opinions and tips with thousands of details of their daily lives.
In Italy the weblog is still not considered in any way by the newspapers as a useful or at least complementary to more traditional ones. But we also reach them, on the other hand it took years because he realized the usefulness of the newsletter sent by e-mail, recently presented to the major newspapers and magazines as the novelty of novelties.
The weblog of us is quite rampant among young people as the more modern version of the diary and replacing, often with much better outcomes, the home page. But who thinks of these journaux intimes of two thousand only as mere containers overflowing with emotion, you are wrong.
There are also some great experiments of the writing concise and focused on the rhythms that built the vehicle speed and require publication. There are in human relationships, readings, music, politics.
"This is me, without filters, without inhibition, as you all know me," says the mysterious The Pythia at the opening of his weblog. It comes with a slight embarrassment and tiptoeing in this space so personal and intense and short texts, ranging from prose and poetry ("ah, that the Portuguese language ... a deep red velvet that slips away from side ").
Try to read the long and well documented, but never boring weblog Leonardo, or synthetic ones and telegraph of two young but worn as a web designer Frederic Argazzi and "blogorroico" Antonio Cavedoni. Despite the fragmentary, are real autobiographies daily glimpses of life represented and returned through the discipline of writing.
