More About Blogs
(May 29, 2002) - Blogging
is in a primitive form. The heavy users only know that it is possible.
"Why?" is a question that awaits a clarifying "How?"
Here are a dozen things we know.
- Personal publishing has always moved from the
grassroots out to society and blogging is an advancement in personal
publishing.
- The technical ground beneath
"blogging" (web services, net services or whatever you want to
call it) is moving from the grass roots out (and not from the top down as
Oracle, Sun, IBM and Microsoft would have it.)
- The blogging phenomenon itself is a market
based example of a self-organizing system that appears to be producing
features and functions just as they are needed.
- The growth vectors associated with blogging
dwarf the original growth vectors of the Web in Phase 1 (circa 1993-1995).
- The sprawling, "static web" is in
need of a function like consciousness that guides and focuses attention.
Blogging makes that a volunteer job (in the sense that the great assignments
go to volunteers who see risk differently than the 'never volunteer
for anything' set.)
- As was the case in early static web
publishing, the egos of the individual contributors are larger than life so
the story is exciting.
- In it's current state, 'blogging' is the
product of technologists who are less concerned with "Why?" than
"How?" although they grapple with "Why?" as content.
- Even as the technology finds its limits,
applications are being unearthed. Knowledge-Logs (or K-Logs) are an
underground phenomenon that may deliver what Lotus Notes promised.
- While the throngs of marketing professionals
have not yet embraced the phenomenon clusters of influence are forming. That
sort of infrastructure (the social network that creates technical momentum)
has a longer half-life than the technical innovation itself.
- The first real beach-head in the maturity of
the tool set will be the arrival of the "usual suspects". Although
some from the "Wired community" are on board (see boing
boing), expect near term entries from the standard digerati.
- The rhetoric is heating up. With forecasts
like "blogs will overturn conventional media by the end of 2002"
circulating widely, there is relative assurance that this thing has the
standard 3 year adoption windup. As near as we can tell, it's still year
one.
- Blogging is a nuance. If the Bugler, the
Scripting News, the Electronic Recruiting News and EGR haven't been blogs
for the past 8 years, it's the underlying technology, not the form. That
said, the nuance makes the form accessible to a far broader array of
participants. Automatic transmissions, which made automobiles accessible to
the majority, were a similar form of nuance.
