Nothing and Some More

Alors on prend son google, son technorati et on va lire la bio de [jm: pas important]. On est des vrais webbloggers oui ou merde ?

La littérature, c'est écrire pour des inconnus. La propagande, c'est écrire pour des gens qu'on connait

Bloggers are just information aggregators. They cull from their sources and post the interesting stuff. Slashdot's been doing it for years. There's too much on the web, and Bloggers act as (real, not top 40) DJs by selecting the best of what's out there and giving it a better. No one seems to complain that DJs don't end every song with "I heard that album from my friend Ted."
The service they provide is going through hundreds of bad links to find the interesting ones to recommend to their readers.

It's a collection of information you'd have to go to hundreds of other places to find yourself.

Much of what's written on blogs is deliberately put into the public domain, with a clear desire on the authors' part to see it get broader distribution.

Blogs are entertainment for many people, and there's a good reason for it. Blogs are free to read, often have discussions associated with them, and touch on subjects that mass media just don't bother with (because they are trivial in a world sense).

See, blogs are written with the intent of living in the Web's stacks as cataloged and searchable archives, organized by sensible schemas. Ordinary Web sites forget their past when they are updated. As publications, they're more like billboards or posters than like books, because their old copies vanish when new ones replace them. They paper over the past.
