PUTTING BLOGS INTO CONTEXT

Workings of Miss Moore (All photos taken from my 2007 whirlwind adventure)



Weblogs are densely interlinked. This anchors blogs in the public arena, as part of a communal discourse. Posts to a blog can be very unpretentious and short. The threshold for publishing a single post is very low. This allows single, small, insignificant ideas to be expressed and formulated.

Sometimes these thoughts are left as they are. A paragraph is enough and there is no more needed. Other times, the ideas grow. Someone links their site to the first post, comments on it, and a conversation grows forth.

The initial post, or follow-ups, are linked to a web site or a newspaper article or something else. Links are like roots, tendrils, reaching out between fragments creating a context for bits and pieces that at first glance may seem to be unconnected fragments.
