Suggested reading Material for Blogger
In his Paper “Praktiken des Bloggens” (sorry to my English readers, this is about a paper which is only available in German ), Jan Schmidt analyzes in a case study about the Austrian Blogging Platform twoday.net, how Bloggers use their online diaries. It is a scientific Paper, and therefore it consists of a introduction, which lays out the base of weblog-research. The second part develops a model based on communication sociology to analyze methods of bloging, and the third part consists of the case study itself. I recommend this paper to every blogger who is interested in a little self-reflection on what he is doing while blogging. I will although reflect a little on my blogging, when I find the time.
