Bitacorear, ¿una moda?
Hay un párrafo sobre la difusión de noticias:
Suppose that the news media consisted of individual reporters and blogs. If someone came along and invented newspapers, CNN, or other centralized news media, would we see this as an improvement?
From the standpoint of pure efficiency of disseminating information, it is not clear to me that the mass media model beats a blog-based model. However, I believe that many people consume news for entertainment value, and the mass media seem better suited at presenting news as entertainment.
My prediction is that in niches where the ratio of information value to entertainment value is high, blogs will prove to be superior mechanism for disseminating news. For example, local politics tends to have lower entertainment value than national politics. To me, that implies that at some point we will start to see elections for school board or city council influenced more by coverage in blogs than by coverage in newspapers.
¿Les suena? Lean a JJ en Mal rollito en la blogosfera II: la contra-anti-FAQ, y los comentarios que pusimos.
También se menciona sobre el escaso valor de bitácoras (o blogs, o weblogs, con perdón) individuales, y algo que ya nombraba Guillermo y que discutimos en Noticias de y para todos.
Lo pongo en inglés, que como son extranjeros se lo creerán mejor que si lo decimos nosotros:
Instead, I think that payment mechanisms that reward collections of bloggers hold more promise for the long run

También habló de ello Gary Lawrence Murphy, en Blog Fad donde, entre otras cosas, dice (y no me parece que sea mentira):
the very first thing that occurs to me is the number of times I've seen pure bunk posted and then noticed the Technorati listings just lapping it up as if it was the gospel.
Y abunda en ello:
The propagation is swift only for select classes of information, and nothing spreads as fast or as far as pure and utter absurd nonesense -- one trip to Daypop will confirm that.
Luego hay comentarios más positivos:
The efficiency of information transfer with the weblog is not in the filtering or the speed, but in the gaging of consensus, and this feature is not a social phenomenon, but a technological advance, or more exactly, the mix of the social human use of technology in amid a sea of new technological advances.

We've been archiving mailing lists for two decades, half of that as indexed webpages, we've been threading and commenting on discussion forums since 1980's BBS days, yet none of these have gained the "knowledge management" power of the blog because they all lacked the close feedback, reputation/consensus measures and other effects of the modern (largely automated) interconnectedness.
Fue enlazado por Sébastien Paquet, en The evolution of weblogs, donde también se enlazaba a otra historia interesante: Where the Mushrooms Bloom. De ella sólo destacaré este trocito:
What we need is not structured XHTML web pages or more dublin core meta-tags in HTML; what we need is a browser that expands on the "add a description" textbox on the bookmarks form, and gently induce the operator to incrementally fill out just a bit more information about that fave link (by rewarding them somehow) and then trading that information transparently via P2P RDF! Instead of Google being some massive keyword database rating pages by word and link counts, it is a miner for the hearts of gold among all these drifting resource descriptions.
por aquello de la nota hacia el ecolucionador universal, y la difusión de contenidos por vías alternativas (no busco el enlace por este barrio, si alguien quiere ....).
