Wired erklärt Weblogs

Das US-Magazin "Wired" gibt Nachhilfe für Neo-Blogger und erklärt so wichtige Sachen wie: Was ist so ein Weblog? Wie funktioniert das? Was schreibt man da?

Aus den Antworten:
"'Blog' itself is short for 'weblog,' which is short for ' we blog because we weren't very popular in high school and we're trying to gain respect and admiration without actually having to be around people'. [...]

Creating your own blog is about as easy as creating your own urine, and you're about as likely to find someone else interested in it.

One popular technique for building readership is to send e-mail to more well-trafficked blogs offering to exchange links with them. One popular response from those blogs is to laugh derisively and hit the Delete button.

Another approach for advertising your blog is to mention it as much as possible in conversations; you'd be surprised how many people are fascinated to hear you have a blog an want to know more, especially if you were expecting the number to be greater than zero."

Das mit dem Urin erinnerte mich spontan an die Klowand-Debatte um Jean-Remy von Matt ;)
