BlogTalk 2.0: Panel 2 – blogging beyond webpublishing

by Lilia Efimova on July 5, 2004

Stephanie Hendrick / Therese Örnberg: The blog as an immersive space: Moblogging Jokkmokk 2004 (presentation, handout)

(Co)Presense in weblogs: interaction, immediacy, immersion, intimacy, involvement, individual user preferences

Dispersive presence

  • indication of shared space (cognitive blending)
  • social interactions
  • sensory input
  • asynchronious

Blends build the spaces…

Can’t wait to see the paper…

Lisbeth Klastrup: ‘Live’-writing: weblogs and the coverage of reality

  • The web as a reality show…
  • Blogs as reality-TV: diary weblogs are interesting as reality-tv
  • When and how the web is live?
  • liveness – when media dissappear…
  • Deixis: language code of liveness, language people use to point to here and now…
    • examples of elements of blogging representing liveness: spelling, posting real-time, lack of body control, etc… -> think of tools to analyse weblogs
  • “Liveness” is a stylistic feature and conscious strategy of some blogs

One more paper I want to read.

Elmine Wijnia: Understanding blogs: a communicative perspective (slides)

communicative symmetry between partipants <- ideal speach situation

ideal speech

  • equal access (objectivity)
  • not power differences (intersubjectivity)
  • participants act truthfully (subjectivity)

information flow patterns

  • allocution – traditional media
  • consultation – traditional web-site
  • registration – questionnaires
  • conversation – internet forum

Conditions

  • possibility to interact
  • provide enough context
  • caveat: power differences in organisational blogs are real threats to communication

Finally, I’ve got some understanding of Habermas :) One more to read

Ideas/questions:

Why in so many cases weblog use doesn’t go beyond webpublishing?

  • Multiple channels
  • Do people need the richness?

Tools additions to make rich uses of blogs?

  • multiple channels
  • awareness of people looking at your weblog
  • streaming? (check with Stephanie)
  • easy tools are not that easy, making them easier…
