Classifing use and content

Can we classify use and content?

Did Jackson get it wrong?

Is Web-based communication the hypertext link
Is Web-based communication social

Is it a combination?

Is a definition of a blogger as being the nexus of values at the core of a community of other people (who will be, predominantly) connected through blogging channels.

Where there is commonality of values across a wide range of individuals, they might be considered to be a public (Grunig and Howe) , with common values they share passionately (e.g. the notion of professional public relations). Thus, from time to time they coalesce, because they have common cause (many shared values). Such a coalition can, and probably would be, within a small group which is the nexus around the blogger.

Classification:

• Native - primitive - skilled users
• Platform for communication
• Channel for communication
• Tags (Hyperlinks, XML, Microformats, LSA concepts, Keywords, Social Media tags)
• Search engine friendly
• Dark web
• Environment, values, interactive competence, time (Social Space).
• Hyperlinked communities

Traditional social segmentation and stakeholder analysis.


What is a power blogger anyway?
