Blogging and Communities

From Dar

Nancy White says she currently sees three types of blog-based "communities":

  • people who cluster, comment and blog around one strong voice - perhaps a political commentator

I don't know any examples of these, yet. BoingBoing type thing?

  • bloggers with a shared passion who link to each other and operate as crowd. Apparently foodies are very strong online in the US.

They may use old technology such as webrings for this, or something called Planet Planet or other aggregators.

  • bloggers who use one multi-blog platform for their shared interest. Nancy gave the example of parents of premature babies sharing their stories at March of Dimes.

MySpace, LiveJournal, to some small extent blogger and blogrdive .... one drupal installation perhaps
