[post] To blog or not to blog

Hoy colocamos dos posts que se hacen referencia entre si (Primero el de Paul Miller, luego el de Trevor Butterworth).

A little while back, Trevor Butterworth had a good rant about blogging in the FT Magazine. He argued - through a series of interviews with the blogging literati - that blogging has overstayed its welcome and isn't quite as revolutionary as everybody seems to think it is. He set up his argument like this:

"Shouldn't we just be a tiny bit sceptical of another information revolution following on so fast from the last one - especially as this time round no one is even pretending to be getting rich? Isn't the problem of the media right now that we barely have time to read a newspaper, let alone traverse the thoughts of a million bloggers?"

I've seen this kind of 'blogophobia' creep into conversations over the past few months. When I was in Canada, it came up in a seminar when one person said he didn't want think tanks to undermine political parties in the way that blogs undermine newspapers. He then talked about the unaccountability, bias and hyper-immediacy of blogging, taking it as a given that blogging was A Bad Thing. (leer más...)
