So what's the big deal?
What distinguishes blogs from traditional web publications are that:
1) Weblogs are densely interconnected.
2) Bloggers read other blogs, link to them, reference them in their own writing, and readers may even annotate entries with comments. At the same time, there is controlled interaction, unlike other forms of CMC such as instant messaging (Tirapat et al, 2006).
3) Blogs facilitate two-way communication that is in some ways similar to earlier self-publishing and fanzine 'subculture' (Bell et al, 2004).
4) They are touted as a new voice for traditional mass-market newspapers and print media (Rosenbloom, 2004).
