What Kind Of Blogging Tools Will AOL Use To Alter On-Line Discussion Landscape
CBS Marketwatch: AOL said ready to boost blogging. [Scripting News]
"There will be a significant (software/feature) release probably in the February time frame ... which will fundamentally alter the way people currently interact in threaded discussions."
It will be interesting to me to see how they are going to alter it. Blogs, in my opinion, have been great at allowing personal publishing. The thing that for me has been frustrating is the fact that you really have to look hard and often at your referrer logs (example mine), to see who is posting a link to an item you've written. To see who's interested in a subject you're obviously interested in too (that's why you posted it in the first place). It's not like in a discussion group where you can see all of the action about someone's posting right there. Technorati, trackback, blog comments all are helping this, but it's still a lonely thing to be a blogger, in my opinion, unless you have lots of other blogger friends that think you are link worthy.
Having said that, thanks to Jeff F., Miff, Jeff H. for reading and supporting with material. And to others who read the blog, please send me an email at outlawv@aol.com and let me know so I can send out shouts to you too!
