Interview with Cameron Marlow
Cameron Marlow, in an MIT openDOOR interview, talks about how weblogs affect social ties and the spread of information on the Internet. He says:
The recent insurgence of weblog adoption can be attributed to the new forms of interaction that it provides. A new weblog author who engages other webloggers will suddenly find themselves embedded in a new social network of people that share their interests. These individuals are a constant readership that motivates the author to keep writing — their new audience of friends.
And with “a new social network” and “friends” comes a re-shaping of one’s identity.
