Scott Rosenberg’s Blog History
Sometime while I was sleeping, Simon Owens of Bloggasm was kind enough to drop a note pointing out his recent article on the PBS MediaShift blog regarding Scott Rosenberg’s upcoming book on the history of blogs and blogging (noted in conjunction with last week’s Friday Focus post). Owens’s article makes me even more interested in Rosenberg’s book because, as I expected, it looks like it will be a meaty and thoughtful volume, not a puff-piece nor a regurgitation of the typical blog history mantra, e.g. "In the beginning was Jorn Barger or Dave Winer, then everyone was doing it, and now there’s no way to know what blogs are."
Incidentally, I’d heard various possible titles in different stories, but my favorite is the one Scott R himself confirmed: Say Everything.
