Well Formed Log Entries

Sam Ruby has started a 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, event log monitoring - no voice, and not on the web…but uniquely useful.

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