Tom Coates on Weblog Culture

Email This Entry

Posted by Clay Shirky

Tom Coates of plasticbag, writes about the challenges to weblogging culture being caused by scale:
The real growth area in the next five years will be in these contextualising tools ... A future weblogging culture should be able to find counterpoints to arguments, to identify experts quickly and easily, and it should help good commentary bubble up effectively from new or low-trafficked sites. Mechanisms that help us know who to read, who to trust and who to ignore should be permeating the entire community invisibly and pervasively.
