Dos blogues:
Fifth Annual Weblog Awards: From now until [...] January 10, 2005, anyone can nominate their favorite weblogs.
Uma nova palavra, "dooced": Looming pitfalls of work blogs: According to UrbanDictionary.com, to be "dooced" means "losing your job for something you wrote in your online blog, journal, website, etc."
The Blog Revolution: Traditional news sites need to be there or be square. Some are starting their own blogs, others are (for now) just making their own sites more blogger-friendly. What's coming in 2005 and beyond?
One Story Line About News Blogs: They Lag Far Behind Mainstream: Yet, despite a lot of growth and mainstream media press, data suggest blogs have a long way to go to match the mainstream media in reach and influence.
