Memer, metaforer och bloggning
I social networking overload skriver danah boyd bl.a. nedanstående apropå en artikel om corporate social networking (ytterligare en variant av social network-tanken).
With every meme that emerges in the tech world, i'm amazed at how much gets attached simultaneously to one concept or phrase. Identity, blogging, social networks... My auto-reaction is to constantly and continuously unpack what people _mean_ when they use these terms. This has become quite challenging lately because the reason people collide them in their heads is to make metaphors work. I never realized how important these metaphors are to people's ability to construct technology.
zephoria fortsätter om bloggning:
Blogging has come to represent people who blog, people who journal, people are embedded in the blogging culture (and lately, i've watched it get further extended to discuss anyone who updates a site regularly). [One thing that continues to amaze me as i meet self-described 'bloggers' is how often they don't realize that most people's goals in blogging are vastly different than their own...]
