THE BLOG AS A WEBPAGE |
But then, why not a webpage? A blog is of course a kind of webpage. What drew both writers and readers to blogs was the rhythm of frequent, usually brief posts, with the immediacy of reverse chronological order. A writer could put up something short and sweet, anticipating that her audience would be checking in on her life's events. Readers knew they would be likely to get fresh news of their friends, family, and colleagues, in the restful format of the blog, with no work-related emails hovering; without the intrusion of the distracting materials often found on homepages. Several informants said that homepages were more "static" than blogs, more formal and carefully considered, and somewhat less authentic.
While to some blogs are a breakthrough form of democratic self-expression, the darker side of the stereotype casts blogs as indulgent chatter of little interest to anyone but the author. Many of our bloggers were sensitive to the latter characterization and pointed out that they blogged to comment on topics they found pertinent and important. A blog, said one, can be “a point of view, not just chatter.” Bloggers in our study were motivated by a desire to write their opinions and commentary on topics from art to politics to medical research.
If you are a consultant on international technical development, was well-informed about information technology in developing countries as well as the politics behind development efforts. He started his blog to comment on a particular international conference but then decided to devote an entire blog to technology in developing countries as a general theme.
Motivations for blogging are not mutually exclusive. Indeed part of the allure of blogs is the brisk easy way they often move from the personal to the profound in sharp well-styled prose. In one post, for example, an historian of science, started by documenting his life, describing an incident in which his young daughter wanted to watch a Sesame Street clip. He then moved to a commentary on how “DVDs make it very easy treat movies not as whole works, but collections of scenes.” He closed with reference to the related matter of John Locke worrying about how numbering Biblical verses would change people’s perceptions of the Bible.
