Well Formed Log Entries

href="http://www.intertwingly.net/blog/1472.html">Sam Ruby has started a href="http://www.intertwingly.net/wiki/pie/">wiki to discuss what really
makes up a weblog entry. He started it out with the following:



Authentic Voice
of a Person.  Reverse Chronological Order.  On the web.  These
are essential characteristics of a online Journal or
weblog.


I think we should
expand the scope of this just a bit, from “online journals or weblogs” to
“syndicated content”. There are a lot of interesting applications of syndicated
content that have nothing to do with journals or weblogs, and these will
arguably only grow in importance over time. For example, href="http://www.rassoc.com/gregr/weblog/archive.aspx?post=570">e

monitoring – no voice, and not on the web…but uniquely
useful.


In any case, if you’re
interested in syndication, definitely take a
look.
