What is a Blog? (posted 26 August 2005)
For today's class, we're going to talk about blogs -- what they are, where they came from, and where they seem to be going.
To that end, we'll check out Jill Walker's excellent definition of "blog" for the Routledge Encyclopedia of Narrative Theory.
For further reference, check out the "Very Limited Blogroll" under the Resources tab.

Thanks, Steve. I love it. Remind me to bring it up next week when we get to opinions about blogging on the 8th.

I certainly agree that the number of new terms and acronyms is moronic but I don't think all blogs are pretentious, poorly writen or otherwise worthless. Blogging's young and just entering puberty, who wasn't a bit snotty at that age?
