Andreas Kitzmann’s book Saved from Oblivion: Documenting the Daily from Diaries to Web Cams looks as though it might be useful for studying weblogs and such. The book “focuses on the major forms of self-documentation that have been in use since the late nineteenth century and covers traditional diaries, snapshot photography, home movies/videos, and web-based media such as web cams and online diaries or journals.” I’ve put it in my Amazon.com shopping basket.

Microsoft buys Blogger from Google? Looks like an April Fool’s joke to me… I’m not going to trust ANYTHING today 🙂
