The essence of the blog
Omni posts an interesting entry on the true nature of the blog movement (if it can be wrangled into one such thing). She targets several different types of sites she believes don’t adhere to the basic essence of blogging—a belief that some will share and others will shun. I see a lot of truth in her writing, not just on this issue, but on many issues. This one is interesting, and it makes me wish she had commenting on her site, because I have a feeling she would generate quite a discussion on this topic alone.
Whatever the true essence of the blog is, I share her hope (or maybe confidence) that when the pop furor over weblogs dies down, there will still be plenty of worthwhile blogs to peruse. In fact, maybe the ones that die out will be most of the non-essentials she describes in her post.
