robdyke — Mon, 19 Nov 2007 09:43:00 -0500

Lovink is critiquing notions of blogging as citizen journalism, and I thought that you might be interested in his analysis. The following quote outlines Lovink’s position, and may provide some food for thought. Tagged by robdyke under network society, culture, Blogging..., blog,

The Memory Bank 3.0 » Money is always social, global and virtual
