There are so many books about blogging now that it’s easy to miss the interesting-looking ones. I just ordered these three that look like they contain academic discussions of blogs, culture and history.

One of UiB’s brilliant research librarians, Jenny Ostrup, patiently helped me make the dataset from the Machine Vision project FAIR in 2022 – I wrote a little bit about that in my […]

I ordered Zero Comments too, but I just got a message from amazon telling me shipment has been delayed until mid-October. I have The Rise of the Blogosphere, which I’ve skimmed and which I’ll read more carefully next. The cover of that book Blogosphere kinda creeps me out…
