Blog research in other languages Monday, December 18 1:07 AM While adding a friend's Magisterarbeit to the article master list, I decided to go through his references for other articles I'd left out.
This is more than I usually do; I'd rather get the Discourse History finished, and Google Scholar currently has 24,400 hits for "blog." (I wonder if the bads hits cancel out the articles it can't find? A newspaper piece on blogging, for scholarship purposes, is almost always a "bad hit".)
I'd guess that there were maybe 30-35 influential articles, as measured by citation count for the time being, between 1999 and 2005, and I'd like to see/show when and what and where and who and whom. The "All Citations" page is largely an artifact of that effort, but since people, you know, use that page, and since I do know this guy, I added his paper.
Then I delved into German blog scholarship for many hours. It's surprisingly extensive, and there are wonderful resources like the apparently-defunct BlogInitiativeGermany.
It's my hope to — in the distant future when I've finished the history and added all the relevant links to other metablogs, recurring blog-related conferences, and journals that regularly publish blogosphere studies stuff — set up a page for German-language, etc., blog articles. A few days ago, I stumbled upon the Wikipedia page on Iranian blogs, which has a short list of related academic papers.
I've spent enough time editing Wikipedia to have become a little bit cynical about Wikipedia's editing process, but for some languages such a section might be a good option.
(Oh, and another note, a lesson that took me some time to learn: When looking for research in Spanish, a language I have never studied, remember that "bitàcoles" or "bitacoles," seems to be an alternate word for blog or weblog.)

But Dan, you had the power the whole time Wednesday, December 13 3:16 PM I asked, and within the hour Prof. Sandeep Krishnamurthy sent me a copy of his 2002 essay "The multidimensionality of blog conversations: The virtual enactment of September 11." That's what I like about this field.
Why did I not do this when I was writing my thesis? I suppose I wasn't getting much sleep back then; I can't really remember.
The essay contains a fair bit of definition, and is often cited for its elegant blog taxonomy (here's a picture from another article). Even today — and there are many months of research behind this judgment call — most blog classification schema are far more arbitrary, basically whatever genres the blogger can think of off the top of her head.
In my thesis I call this the "recipe approach," because it's about listing features (squishy), while Krishnamurthy's system (like mine, but I don't have a drawing) is about defining/mapping boundaries (less squishy).
But whatever. The rest of the essay focuses on how community news blogs react to traumatic events: the example here is Metafilter's reaction to 9/11. Since it's so hard to track down a copy, here's an important (underlined in the original) nugget from the conclusion:
While the quantity and frequency of communication go up, the style of communication does not change too much. (12)
I've added an expanded cite to the discourse history. I don't see any influential theorists that far back in the timeline who aren't also prominent metabloggers; Krishnamurthy's essay might be the first academic one on blogging to attract much (scholarly) attention.
Is there any chance of getting hold of a copy of Krishnamurthy's paper. I have been looking everywhere for it, someone, anyone please help

JCMC and Winer's Weblogs Tuesday, December 12 12:45 AM Linked to the Journal of Computer-Mediated Communication on every page, because they publish a lot of blog articles and let everyone read them. An excellent resource.
I also added another article, Dave Winer's "What Makes a Weblog a Weblog?"
Is it just me, or are his old Weblogs.com articles "The History of Weblogs" and "What are Weblogs" prettymuch identical? I mean, that's OK, and I could be wrong since this is before my metablogger phase and the old "A History of Weblogs" article is prettymuch impossible to access ("Access denied," though I used to be able to link to it before), but why link to two so very similar articles at the end of "What Makes a Weblog a Weblog?"
The Wayback Machine has given me some dates for the articles he cites, which was helpful, but it's also confused me tremendously. Whatever.

The year was 2003 Monday, December 11 2:52 PM New addition: Lindahl, Charlie, and Elise Blount. "Weblogs: simplifying web publishing." Meh, nothing you don't already know there. It's 2006.
Notable: this article is one of many early blogosphere studies articles (or maybe that's all in my head) in which websites like Robot Wisdom and Rebecca's Pocket aren't cited as sources, though they're used as sources in the text. I'd like to think we have a more enlightened attitude toward the web as a source of scholarship these days. Right?
The Google Scholar count was wrong, so I bumped the Lindahl article off of the "Top 20 Most-Cited" and moved Dave Winer's May 2003(?) post "What Makes a Weblog a Weblog?" temporarily back onto the list.
I'm sorry, I am a little bit addicted to watching the citation horserace.

The bursty evolution of my swollen fingers Sunday, December 10 10:17 PM Finally finished the Discourse History expanded-and-hyperlinked cite for "On the Bursty Evolution of Blogspace." The major discourse articles I haven't gotten to are nowhere near as oft-cited.
I was definitely right in thinking that there was a whole other discourse community here: for the most part, these was very little overlap between the technology types who cite this article (Japan is huge here: kudos to all those theorists who added English titles and abstracts to their articles) and the kind of researcher who's citing people like reigning queen of the blog theorists Rebecca Blood.
The tech stuff is over my head, but there's enough plain language to make Kumar et al.'s article worth a look. At the very least, they've got the data to substantiate the common perception of a post-Blogger flowering, and in this case, if I understand them right, they're not just talking about users but of an increase in interlinking.

How you can help (and Blogger Beta) Friday, December 8 3:00 PM If you have a blog article or updated "cited by" information to add to Dan's Metablog, or if you're a theorist/writer/author/metablogger with a better article access link for me, email me at ourboldhero [at] mailhaven [dot] com. Or comment anywhere, I'll see it.
I can't believe I've never said that before. My mom used to tell me that if I didn't encourage user-participation, the big bad Web 2.0 would come and eat me.
Yes, don't worry, I'm still minding the site. I'm just trying to work updates into my regular schedule.
Today, I've rolled over all of my sites to the wondrous (but still awfully confusing) Blogger Beta. Finally, tags! I'm adding them to the Discourse History section, where they were sorely needed. Though I haven't a clue how to format them yet.
