Thanks to The People’s Channel for inviting me and Brian to come and help lead a discussion about blogging for their Community Media Workshop Series. For folks who were there, here are some links related to our dicussion:
-
Ruby’s list of what makes a blog (and some more background we didn’t discuss)
- first-person voice
blogs increasingly have more credibility than the MSM because they are more authentic and believeable. - community dialogue
either through comments on the blog, or discussion between blogs - archive & permalinks
archives by date and sometimes by category or by author as well. permalinks allow others to refer directly to a specific post, encourages inter-blog dialog. - database back-end
this may be the least important, but is essential to emerging tools like aggregators that use syndicated content
- first-person voice
-
Online communication tips including 10 social media tools to check out
