Particularly enjoyed references to the wilder woollier days of the public Internet as it unfolded in the early 1990s. Recommended read for students of differing communication media and die hard Internet junkies. ( ) As a self-help book junkie, I compulsively read a lot in this venue. I would rank this book as one of the ten best of the hundreds this sixty year old has read. Why? The author, has travelled the buddhist path, a former Zen monk. He has been qualified as a psychologist. Most impressively, he writes pithily, and penetrates the normal self-help "schlock" to strike at the heart of consciousness change. It penetrates creatively beyond most self help material. And you had better understand what "enlightenment" means to you because you will have a different take on it by the book's end.
In a style both conversational and compelling, Rosenberg describes how technology and the wider culture converged to help move blogs from their small orbit (“as the quip went, being ‘famous for fifteen people’ ’’ ) to being substantial enough to merit articles like the landmark November 2000 New Yorker article “You’ve Got Blog.’’ Say Everything" is a snappy, insider's history of a new form of communication, blogging. "Say Everything" comes across like something soon to be assigned in advanced university communications classes, albeit written more clearly and with better style than most academic textbooks. Rosenberg suggests that blogging's "outpouring of human expression" should "delight us." This fair and fascinating account should delight as well.
Explores the complex network of blogging and provides insights into the new medium with discussions on privacy, self-expression, authority, and community, and includes close-ups of blogging innovators, including Evan Williams of Blogger. Não foram encontradas descrições de bibliotecas. |
