Andy Lark has a great post contrasting blogs with the "traditional" web:
Web = Cold Blogosphere = Warmth
Web = Transmission Blogosphere = Conversation
Web = Place Blogosphere = Community
Web = Anonymous Blogosphere = Personal
Web = Company Blogosphere = People
Web = Content Blogosphere = Expression
Web = Cookie Cutter Blogosphere = Individual
Web = Closed Blogosphere = Participatory
Web = Unresponsive Blogosphere = Gives thanks….
To that I’d add:
Web = Organized Blogosphere = Chaotic
Web = Predictable Blogosphere = Unpredictable
Web = Find Blogosphere = Browse
Web = Comprehensively shallow Blogosphere = Incompletely deep
Web = Broad Blogosphere = Niche
We’re hoping to find the intersection point in that venn diagram.
