Weblog Neighbourhood Analysis
WELCOME TO the 150th edition of NetSpeak!
This week NetSpeak discusses a service that enables one to spot the neighbourhood of a blog (weblogs related to a blog).
One of the most fascinating features of the Net is its capability to provide a congenial atmosphere for the creation of unconventional movements that originate purely from individual initiatives. Popular Net phenomena that include open source/free software movements, P2P-based (peer-to-peer) file sharing services, distributed computing applications, and Wiki web (a web page that can be edited by anyone on-line) are some prominent examples. A movement of this type that has gained wide acceptance among netizens is the blog phenomenon, covered in this column long ago.
