"Weblogs are densely interlinked. This anchors blogs in the public arena, as part of a communal discourse. Posts to a blog can be very short and unpretentious. The threshold for publishing a single post is very low. This allows single, insignificant ideas to be expressed and formulated. 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 root , tendrils, reaching out between fragment, creating a context for bits and pieces that at first glance may seem to be unconnected fragments. Each individual can use weblogs as he or she feels fit, there is no tyranny of news values to decide what is worth writing about or, as the term is :what is worth blogging." - Mortensen, Torill, and Walker, Jill.
