Characteristics of blogs and blogging
How do blogs validate or contradict the principles and qualities of E-culture ?
Blogs are undoubtedly a powerful illustration of e-culture qualities we discussed in class. One of these qualities is impermanence, which blogs illustrates because they are extremely volatile, like most of the web content because they are extremely volatile : new blogs are constantly created while other vanish at the same time. See how our bloggers community has quickly emerged this year. Blogs also clearly shows how e-culture lead people to drop old habits or, let’s say, how they quickly adopt a new one when it is meaningful and offers precious opportunities. The explosion of the blog practice shows this very well. This trend might concern especially young and culture oriented people, but as we saw in class, blogs are gaining field in the professional world too (employee’ blogs, corporate blogs, job research. A lot of recruiters now look for candidates on the web and examine their blogs to make a primary selection.
As far as transparency is concerned, I’m almost willing to say that blogs are almost transparency themselves. What is more transparent than presenting oneself to the world, in a totally free expression space ? Blogs are pioneers in a new type of transparency on the web. They are a totally new way of communicating, which might partly explain their wide success. As Christine showed us warblogs are (quite sadly) another kind of illustration of how blogs can promote transparency on the web.
Blogs illustrate precious opportunities because they offer people the opportunity to share their thoughts, passions, laughs and tears. Blogs are very personal, therefore the communication which takes place between people is a very precious dialog as well as a precious opportunity to communicate with anyone all over the world. They also connect people through specific communities and can sometimes bring unexpected opportunities, as Max revealed us with his personal experience.
