    After reading Ashley Lewis's blog I noticed this really cool feature off to the side of her blog. It shows you where someone is at that is viewing your page. I thought it was pretty neat and so I followed her link and posted it to my blog page.

BBC NEWS | Technology | Berners-Lee on the read/write web - 1 views

  • Well in some ways. The idea was that anybody who used the web would have a space where they could write and so the first browser was an editor, it was a writer as well as a reader. Every person who used the web had the ability to write something. It was very easy to make a new web page and comment on what somebody else had written, which is very much what blogging is about.
  • For years I had been trying to address the fact that the web for most people wasn't a creative space; there were other editors, but editing web pages became difficult and complicated for people. What happened with blogs and with wikis, these editable web spaces, was that they became much more simple. When you write a blog, you don't write complicated hypertext, you just write text, so I'm very, very happy to see that now it's gone in the direction of becoming more of a creative medium.
  • I feel that we need to individually work on putting good things on it, finding ways to protect ourselves from accidentally finding the bad stuff, and that at the end of the day, a lot of the problems of bad information out there, things that you don't like, are problems with humanity.

      This reminds me of how I think the Church uses these tools. Yes, the internet can be used for not-so-good things...but ultimately, it can be used and is meant to be used to expand the Church's work.

The Nameless Mormon Blogosphere | Times & Seasons - 1 views

  • Latter Day Blogs is pretty good, but the strength of St. Blog’s is that it suggests a place in which this online community exists.
  • They used to refer to on-line LDS posters as members of the virtual ward.
  • Some object on the grounds that a choir is a better analogy than a space. Note that the founding metaphor of the blog community is spacial–the blogosphere. Note also that a choir is rather more directed and harmonious than we expect to be, that admission to it is controlled by the choir whereas admission to the sacred precincts of a tabernacle is at least in conception controlled by God. While singing ought to be an act of praise, we tend to think of it as entertainment, whereas we are always aware of our presence before God in a tabernacle. Getting down to specifics, the Mormon Tabernacle Choir is a somewhat unhip public relations gesture. It serves to present an friendly face to an antipathetic world, and is thus at root defensive. The tabernacle, on the other hand, is the sacred space that conceptually contains the world; it is at root expansive.

  • I thought about that, Jim. Here’s my response: first, if we were calling ourselves the Tabernacle I think I’d object. Bloggernacle tones down the sacred meaning enough, I think, while still keeping some of those overtones of acting before the eyes of God. Also, in Mormonism, the Tabernacle isn’t exactly a temple. It’s a holy building and holy space, true, but one in which musical concerts and Journal of Discourse talks on farming methods can still be appropriate. It’s almost the Mormon Public Square.

Blogger, James Joyce - 0 views

  •  
    This is another link from the same man's site, but this link is for the blog he did on one of James Joyce's stories. He actually invites his readers to participate in reading Irish literature for the week and then blog about it. He says that he would then make a master copy of all the blogs. Just thought it was interesting.

    So I was searching for some blogs about James Joyce and I came across this man's blog, Mel. Talk about being a prolific reader and writer. He reads short stories all the time and posts about each one. I think it is interesting that he started his blog not really think many would read it and now he has almost 500 followers.

  • Many blogs, particularly those by the most fervently religious, are anonymous.
  • She guards her anonymity because it lets her write things that some in her community might perceive as less than flattering, which could potentially compromise her daughters' ability to marry well, she said, though they are now respectively an infant and a toddler.
