thomas n. burg - on social media and its benefits for us, and sometimes gossip.

HauptalleeJust having breakfast.

The never-ending story unfolds once again.

Mabye it’s just another instance of talking about innovation. As long as we have no adequate concepts of talking about an innovation, that means as long innovations are not internalized by a society or community, we struggle to describe it in terms of well-known traditional concepts because it doesn’t fit exactly or is even something different. This time it’s about writing in/for the public. Is that journalism or just writing or something new called blogging.

We can’t have an answer as long as we don’t have a concept for that. Now what we are doing is just working on that conceptualization!

Now, having finished breakfast I’ll take my daughter and go jogging in the Prater Hauptallee.

Bricklin on event blogging

Dan Bricklin has a post on what we’re starting to learn about event blogging. Dan’s doing a service by turning this into a topic…

In passing, Dan responds to Charles Coopers‘ post at CNET. Dan says that we’re only at the beginning of learning about event blogging and about the relationship of blogging and journalism. To this I would only add: Cooper is judging blogging as if it were wannabe journalism. What I was doing at the Convention wasn’t journalism. I’m not sure what to call what I was doing, except maybe “blogging.” Was it worthwhile even thought it wasn’t journalism? I dunno. Sort of for you to judge. As always. [Joho the Blog]
