Here's a very thorough account of the emergence of blogging as an alternative to mainstream journalism.
Yet, I still maintain that blogging will eventually, at pure core, become something more:
Is blogging a new and emerging literary/graphical/(perhaps even audible) art form? Should it, will it rank among other genre of recognized expression such as the novel, the essay, the poem, the sketch? Will the “Art of Blogging” be a credited English course in tomorrow’s universities (surely, the kiss of death) ?
I dare to struggle and say: yes.
Though like a journal in having a timeline that flows like a river carrying fluid thoughts to the sea, the key to this art form (dare I say that?) is its performance: its interactivity. The best of posts, uncommented, remains the haunting one hand clapping in the forest—which is a rare and ethereal accomplishment: a pure essence of expression, standing by itself, pristine, an incontrovertible entity. But the highest form of blogging always invites response: the initial post is one hand posed awaiting the second hand, the comment, which issues the *clap* or sometimes the *smack* or sometimes a chaos of *slaps*, *hugs*, and *gawks*. So the timeline of expression invites a timeline of response—and thus the blog is woven as a form for all to see. Hence blogging distinguishes itself as a most genuine form of expression—and is utterly artistic at its height—when it creates community.

Hi! I've enjoyed your last few blogs, thanks for the links to Salam and the CNN journalist, its good to read an alternative view on the current conflict. Guess politics is sometimes 'too serious' to blog about.
Hmm..as to blogging as an art form. I tend to see its value in interactivity and the responsiveness. Don't think it will become an form of art like the novel, but I think it will definitely create a new genre of communication and media on its own.
One more thing. The post about the proposition for sex as freedom? Interesting notion.
I feel like blogging has really evolved in my own life. It was so minimal to me, in the beginning. And now, it is definitely the form of art that I covet most. However, if it reaches the fateful 'mainstream' in all its (un)glory, I will surely lose my interest.
you have once again hit the nail on the head, NFP!
"blogging as an artform which creates community" - a lovely image. "the timeline of expression inviting the timeline of response" - such a great outlet and opportunity for building bridges.
when I first started my Xanga site on a sort of a whim, in a particularly introspective moment, thinking of it as a journal, an exercise in sorting out my thoughts and feeelings, with the hope for facilitating personal growth and understanding.
little did I know then that there was so much more possibility and depth to be discovered in this seemingly somewhat frivolous medium. and little did I know that the growth and understanding would not merely be personal, but instead lead me to making connections I had never dreamed of, in a far wider community than I ever expected.
the exchange of thoughts, ideas, and feelings...one of the greatest components of the human experience! and one of the most powerful tools for growth as an individual, and as a global community.
another thought provoking blog.
I blog.. therefore I am.
Yes... the interactivity is what has kept me using this blog much more than a journal.
"Kiss of Death?"... ~shudders~
and your cam is down again... ~sighs~
Peace, my notforprophet... Laugh for Me
The interactive element of Xanga freaked me when I started to get emails telling me that if I didn't have the courage to go to the police about my friends then they would do it for me!
That is far too far too far. So now I just blog a bit in public and have a hidden non interactive site for a journal and a journal is a blog too, but a different definition then, than the one you give.
The ever-illusive (or is that elusive?) fourth wall... The rise of bloggerdom is not only in the community that is created, but in the ability for ANYONE to do it, and for ALL WHO READ to be close to the creator of the content. How punk.
I was just having this conversation with my partner who is a therapist...very interesting. I will pass this info on to her and the link. I see a research study in the future.
*Hugs*
(Hey, you got the analogy of my yesterdays? I may not be that good in geography but both Alaska and Florida is parts of the USA, no? And Both Finland and Afghanistan is not.. I thought it looked so good to round up with that sentence comparing extremely different parts of USA with extremely different parts of the rest of the world so I was just sitting there *gawking* when reading your comment on it!
)
Blog ... sounds like: "dog". Dog spelled backwards is God.
Thus, To blog is to find oneself.

Hey ... I could spend hours getting to this simple truth thru philosophical meanderings, but why? The synchronicity of it all is so much more fun.
Oh yeah, I need that code. Check your e-mail. Puh leeeeeeze.
~smooches
Here we have a course about The History of Beer.
haha... Food Sciences, I think.
I kind of feel that blogging is already included in mainstream writing genre's: written forums, diaries, hate mail/comments, etc.. so, no. it won't come to its own - in my opinion
Yeah, or it can just be photos of an animated weiner.
remember back in the 2000's we used to blog?.. yea that was cool....
have a great weekend!
Did you feel it???????....ROFLMAO... Sweet!
I agree with you the blogging is a good mean of self expression and it becomes a true Art in numerous cases : good writing , high technical level , gorgeous pictures . It ' s powerful way for exchange and to know better the different ways of live in various countries . But I feel its ephemeral aspect ( the stream ) .
I have appreciated your humorous comment about the spontaneous generation !!

Thompson isn't referred to as a puncher, but he's got a mean right hook and straight left-hand that he can throw with good power when he sits recorded on his shots. Price isn't exactly difficult to hit, as we saw in his fights against 45yearold Matt Skelton and "Big" John McDermott.

This varies based on forward orders. While we conserve a small amount of stock we generally manufacture to satisfy specific orders. Some weeks none are manufactured, while at times up to 150 have been produced in per week. We aim to keep lead times to a minimum and customers accept that for bulk orders of 10 or more units there is currently a two week lead time. So long as scooters remain popular then we'd hope to at least double our current turnover during the next 12months, putting us in a position to hold more stock and reduce customer waiting times.

The acquisition will be conducted by means of an offmarket takeover bid for all of the outstanding shares of Tower. The takeover offer is subject to a number of conditions, including regulatory approvals, and is expected to close in the second quarter of calendar year 2008.

we aren't able to enter the abyss of sin like Jesus can and come out not impacted whatsoever as Jesus could. Also, we forget that we are to share the Gospel, not talk about making things easier or more comfortable. 2 Corinthians 5:1621. For me, I tend to jump into a new project and work by trialanderror. This is one method of doing things, but it can lead to roadblocks. Just last night, I was trying to work around a bug that I had encountered in my code, without finding anything online in an hour of searching.
whoah this weblog is great i really like reading your articles. Stay up the good work! You understand, a lot of people are looking around for this information, you could aid them greatly.
I completely agree with the above comment, the net is with a doubt growing into the a first-class number of important medium of communication across the globe and its due to sites like this that ideas are spreading so quickly. My best wishes, Alda.
Extremely interesting points you've remarked, appreciate it for putting up.
Who is the admin of this web site? I would like to exchange links. Looking at the amount of traffic that The public is the solid foundation for charity gets and itd be worth it for me to trade links. Would like to get ahead of the competition and all. Also, most of my links come from sites just like here.
