Overview of the Continents of the Blogosphere

  • Chapter
Blogosphere and its Exploration

Abstract

To deal with the blogosphere in general requires a deep understanding of its smallest entities, individual weblogs, including their technical features and specifications. This knowledge (refer to Chap. 2) would remain entirely abstract if not tested under real conditions. On the basis of five different blog projects presented in the following chapters, we will substantiate that blogs can actually be employed in any imaginable environment as long as it is perfectly clear that any potential field of application requires a unique set of preconditions, whether these be moderation, privacy issues, technical adaptations, a full understanding of diverse target audiences, or issues concerning the actual blog contents.
