Blog Papers
01:55 EST |
Web logs have grown dramatically in popularity over the past couple of years. These `home pages' are usually called `Blogs' and they are of many different types, ranging from rather Diary-like descriptions of various people's lives, through political discussions and technological reports and musings, all the way to quite artful presentations of sounds, images and all kinds of writing.
(draft) Emmanuel Decarie wrote a review in March 2003 of an article by David Searls and David Sifry. The original article appeared in the Linux Journal. This review is on the Web at this location
Since the original article has not yet appeared on the Web, it is difficult, in some cases, to make any indirect comment on the remarks in the review. When the original article becomes available, it will either be incorporated into this note or will be critiqued in a separate, but related, document.
There are not only lots of blogs on the Web, there are many different types of Blogs. These types fall into several convenient categories and this paper discusses some of them, along with some general commentary about their scope and quality.
