Weblogs and Blogging - Part 2 - By Laurel A. Clyde
As noted in the first part of this article, many commentators have suggested that Blogger and similar programs have resulted in even more unreliable or mindless content on the Web than there was before.
However, Tim Archer, while acknowledging the truth of this observation, prefers to think that weblogs are an empowering phenomenon; they make it possible, he says, for “everyone” to publish and to have other people read and respond to what they say. Well, you have been warned! At one end of the scale, there are weblogs that provide daily news updates from authoritative commentators in their field. At the other end are a range of personal weblogs whose titles, such as Absolute Piffle, might be said to accurately reflect their content.
