Show #2 Topics, Blogs and Play List

Hi,


So we chatted for a while yesterday about Blogs, V-logs and Photo Blogs. A good show. We had 4 callers. Good questions, good topic. We most likely will hit this topic again because it is so vast.

We touched on blogs we liked or used as examples:

Karen Mann's-mannsworld-local to the triangle music blog
Wonkette-the DC gossip blog
Tech Notes Radio-our blog-we post show topics, play lists and more
Drudge Report-Matt Drudge's blog
Talking Points Memo-Joshua Micah Marshall's blog
Rocket Boom-Three minute daily videoblog based in NYC, wide range of information
ZeFrankcom-A blog that has many cool, informing links
Youtube-many videos
Little Green Footballs-Anti-idiotarian Headquarters (with a cool t-shirt)
Warblogs Salam Pax-also published a book, link below

Group Blogs-Boing Boing

We chatted a bit about some folks worrying that bloggers(everyday users) might not respect copyright or larger media firms and don't present 'true' news. However, everyday users were named as the person of the year in 2006 Time magazine's issue because of the mass amount of contributions made to media, etc. Person of the the year was "you".

Blog sites to help you blog:
Blogger.com
LiveJournal.com

Movable Type

Blog hosting services DreamHost

Show #2 topic-Blogs, Vlogs and Photo Blogs!!! Sunday April 15th 12:00-1:00 pm

Hi,


So we will cover Blogs, Vlogs and Photoblogs on Sunday. A vast and exciting subject.


See cool Blog info below:

Check out Google Blogs you can search through thousands of Blogs!


What are blogs? Vlogs? Photoblog? Podcast?
A blog is a user-generated website where entries are made in journal style and displayed in a reverse chronological order.

Blogs provide commentary or news on a particular subject, such as food, politics, or local news; some function as more personal online diaries. A typical blog combines text, images, and links to other blogs, web pages, and other media related to its topic.

The ability for readers to leave comments in an interactive format is an important part of most early blogs. Most blogs are primarily textual although some focus on photographs (photoblog), sketchblog, videos (vlog), or audio (podcasting), and are part of a wider network of social media.
(definition from Wikipedia)

The Drudge Report is an example of a well established money making blog.

Drudge Report
The Drudge Report is a U.S.-based news website run by Matt Drudge. The site consists primarily of links to stories from the US and international mainstream media about politics, entertainment, and current events as well as links to many popular columnists. Occasionally Drudge authors a story of his own. The Report originated around 1994 as a weekly subscriber-based email dispatch. It is most famous for being the first news source to break the Monica Lewinsky scandal to the public.
