Jun. 8th, 2004 01:16 pmSince I think a couple of folks might be interested in this:
"The educated blogger: Using weblogs to promote literacy in the classroom" by David Huffaker (at First Monday)
I was hoping for something a bit more in-depth, but some of the references seem like they might be interesting. (Haven't had and won't have until later any time to go follow all the links.)
This was something I saw linked on SIGCHI that was presented at WWW2004:
"How can we measure the influence of the blogosphere?", Kathy E. Gill
This paper reviews ways to measure the influence of the blogosphere on public opinion and mass media. It covers anecdotes of stories becoming big in the blogosphere and then being (re)introduced into mass media. It reports on the traffic blogs receive and their integration into political and news sites. It also compares the relative ranking of blogs on websites like BlogStreet and Technorati.
"News by the People, for the People", Online Journalism Review (from 2002)
"Scholars Discover Weblogs Pass Test as Mode of Communication", Online Journalist Review (5/11/2004)
Educational types aren't just using blogs to teach or spread their research. They are turning their research lens on Weblogs themselves, whether the context is within schools of law, journalism, communication or library science. Alex Halavais studied the group dynamic at Slashdot and the way bloggers followed the news. Kaye Trammell studied the political content of celebrity blogs. Jill Walker is studying timestamps on blogs and our modern obsession with time. And Cori Dauber both studies blogs and writes a feisty one.
