<nettime> about how I blog it

[Bill Spornitz <spornitz {AT} mts.net>]

Listen:

I find something interesting, maybe I'll read it later. Time to 
BlogIt! Woo! 23e23 bunny-verse bloggin'!

Okay. I drag my mouse to select pertinent text. These people are so 
clever, I can't wait to BlogIt!

I click the *BlogIt* link in my personal tool bar. It's always there waiting...

The handy window pops up; I login. Use animal name!

No. The highlighted text doesn't appear where it's supposed to. Just 
empty html tags. That's all; That's okay.

Listen: I close the pop-up window.

Deftly, I click the *BlogIt* link <i>again.</i>.

The crafty little pop-up is back, filled with appropriate text and 
url! It _does_ work!

Next: Publish! Oops- ftp login failed. Wha? Do It Again! ClickIt! 
BlogIt! failed again. Browser Crash Type 2! Try Again Later21!

Broken? -> It just works that way. That's the way it works, that way! 
That's the way to go with that {AT} now\! Click it twice {AT} ! ClickIt then 
BlogIt!$!!!

Blogspace Under the Microscope
by Jon Udell
05/03/2002

The culture of blogspace is evolving in near-realtime. Last week, a 
new mutation brought backlinks into a more prominent role. At 
Disenchanted, inbound links were automatically reflected outward. 
Each article grew a tail of backlinks that pointed to pages referring 
back to it. Suddenly a new kind of feedback loop was created. With a 
twist of the lens, conversations that had been diffuse and indirect 
came sharply into focus. Almost immediately the meme replicated.
