Big Question (Answered): "Is There a Drought of Big Ideas on the Internet/Tech Blogosphere?"
This week's Motorola news seemed to create a great deal of stories, but very few were significantly deep. Richard wondered why Tech Media was so obsessed with Deals & Rumors. The discussion in the comments was really great so we decided to ask you directly, "Is There a Drought of Big Ideas on the Internet/Tech Blogosphere?"
You answered and we culled your responses from Google Plus, Twitter, the original post and Facebook, and used Storify to present it all back to you. If you have additional responses, please leave them in the comments.
Cartoon: It's a Big Ol' Blogosphere
Ever have that moment when you wonder if what you're about to post will alienate you from the rest of the online world forever?
I get that sometimes, which says a lot more about my own insecurities and the extent to which the social Web replicates the social dynamics of high school than it does about any real risk. My social network includes some very forgiving, open-minded people... and the online world is much, much bigger than anything I've tapped into so far.
BlogRize Relaunches: Google Reader Meets Digg for Blog Communities
When BlogRize, a blog community and aggregator, first launched earlier this year, we gave it a very positive review. BlogRize is an interesting mix between Digg, Techmeme, and ReadBurner, though with a stronger emphasis on individual communities around blogs (like the RWW community here) and recommendations.
During the last few months, BlogRize's founder Jesse Spaulding has been working on a major redesign of the site, which he is rolling out today. The new design features an enhanced voting system, updated ranking algorithms, and a lot of updates to the user interface that make using the site a lot easier and more fun.
And You Thought the Tech Blog Echo Chamber was Bad
You see it happen every day: a story breaks on Techmeme, and 30 minutes later, the headline is followed up by tens of "discussion links." Some bloggers weigh in just to get the trackback link, or the link on Techmeme, some because they're generally interested in the news, and some because they think they have something new to add to the conversation. Whatever the reason, though, the effect is the same -- the tech blogosphere becomes an echo chamber, and the more bloggers writing about a story, the more clout it has and the more chance it gets repeated by a mainstream news outlet. In all, though, the effects are mostly innocuous. In the political blogosphere, though, a repeated rumor can carry considerably more significant consequences.
