a weblog about weblogging
a weblog about weblogging: "Before the world of the weblog was the time of the homepage. Back before we knew any better, it was the homepage that was going to transform the world. Everyone was going to have them. They were going to democratise publishing. Together we thought we were going to change the world. But we didn't.."

The most important Polish newspaper, Gazeta Wyborcza, started in its weekly edited section, Du�y Format, a cycle where they want to publish come excerpts of Polish blogs.
As they say in the introduction: "the Republic of blogs is a fact" and they are looking for diamonds among blogs, which are defined as "personal diaries becoming public just after being written down".

English vs Polish blogging
Marysia Cywinska-Milonas :: BLOG :: BADANIA :: WEBLOG :: RESEARCH ::: English vs Polish blogging:
"Apparently both languages are needed.
I'll try to blog in English as well as in Polish. My Polish audience is really important for me. My English blogging will be the source for my Polish posts.
I simply don't know how to find enough time to do it."
Many of the benefits of blogging are listed above in "Uses for Blogging"...other benefits include:

Many of the benefits of blogging are listed above in "Uses for Blogging"...other benefits include:
- Fostering the fringe - ideas are evaluated based on merit - not on source of origin.
- Filtering - ideas with merit are filtered through various blogs. Significant thoughts or posts receive multiple-links and spread viral-like across the blogosphere.
- Multiple perspectives - one-sided perspectives of newspapers are replaced by passionate debates exploring virtually every facet of an idea or concept.
- Barrier elimination - society is about barriers - actual or unspoken. For example, I don't run in the same circle as Bill Gates - a socio-economic barrier (at the absolute minimum!). In society, this generally means that I do not have the benefit of Mr. Gates' wisdom...blogging, however changes that. Opportunities now exist to hear regular thoughts from people like Ray Ozzie, Mitch Kapor, and Larry Lesig.
- Free flow - any idea can be expressed...and accessed by any one. The process of blogging separates good ideas from poor ideas. The process itself has built in quality control - try that in traditional media!
- Real time - discussions and interactions happen right NOW. Waiting for tomorrow's newspaper or radio program seems like an eternity compared to real time blogging.
- Links and connections - the complexity of an information heavy society requires specialization. Yet specialization is futile if a process is not created to link specialties. Blogging serves this purpose extremely well. Disparate fields of interest and thought are brought together (and dissected) in the machinations of bloggers.
