I compiled quite a list so far and I am sure I am not done. Does Dr. Bob have a atom/rss feed? If so, I don't see one on his site... I'll ask after other luminaries in this thread as it occurs to me... -d Back to top Dennis Landi Guest Posted: Tue Aug 24, 2004 11:25 pm    Post subject: Re: Delphi Blogsphere "Dennis Landi" <nada (AT) nada (DOT) com> wrote Quote: I'll ask after other luminaries in this thread as it occurs to me... uh, JK, that's a good job: http://news.borland.com/ (the xml feeds, that is...)

The difference between an NG post and a blog entry is that an NG can somewhat resemble a community, whereas a 'blogsphere' seems more like a big ocean with thousands of little islands, no strings attached, each self-proclaimed guru being able to rant on without censure or contradiction (if anybody cares to read). On the whole, I feel it's not a positive overall direction for online discourse between professionals.

On the whole, I feel it's not a positive overall direction for online discourse between professionals. Am I the only one who feels this way? I hear ya. But I think there is something completely different going on with the emerging blogsphere, especially when there is a community focus. The quality (on many levels) definitely varies from blog to blog, but that is really a lesser issue for me. I easily (instantly) filter out blogs that I don't think return value for the time I just spent reading it... Those blogs will immediately go to the bottom of the list. But what really intrigues me with this new form of communication, is the overall community gestalt that effortlessly emerges from the blogsphere as a whole. I find it pretty interesting. And its definitely early days yet... I think a some future socioligist could easily get a dissertation out of the topic... -d Back to top John Kaster (Borland) Guest Posted: Tue Aug 24, 2004 11:53 pm    Post subject: Re: Delphi Blogsphere Dennis Landi in <412bce0c (AT) newsgroups (DOT) borland.com> wrote: Quote: uh, JK, that's a good job: Glad you like it.

I find it pretty interesting. No doubt there are blogs that sort of "cluster up", quoting each other over and over, etc. - and in this sense, no doubt 'communities' are forming around the most eloquent and popular bloggers (e.g. JoelOnSoftware's blog, which was probably one of the first in its kind). But, I such a form of conversation is more difficult to follow, than a threaded discussion in an NG. And the rewards of the new format are very vague to me...

On the whole, I feel it's not a positive overall direction for online discourse between professionals. I can speak( obviously ) only for me: the blog idea for me is that I won't only pour out my considerations about programming( Delphi, mainly ) but also about other things. You can also be sure I'm not self-proclaiming to be a guru. Quote: Am I the only one who feels this way? Probably not, but I think you look at it from another side than me. Blogs are just a way to let others know your opinion without being cancelled because you chose the wrong group <g>. Jokes aside, the basic idea of blogs is that you can express offhand comments on whatever you like in your own blog. That said, there may surely be someone who's going to self-proclaim a guru and those should be filtered right away because they're probably filled with too much selfishness to be objective.
