Awesome – part 1
Conversations with Dina
[excerpt]
Lilia talks about ‘Weblog as a pen’ :
A piece I guess I have to cut out from a paper I’m trying to finish:
Weblogs serve many purposes. Like a pen could be used to write a diary, a novel, a letter to a friend, or just a shopping list pinned to a fridge door, weblogging tools can be used in a variety of ways. For instance, they can provide a venue for self-expression, serve as a community space or be used to publish formal corporate news.
That was my reaction on the whole “weblog as a genre” discussion. Do you study “pen as a genre”?
