Your sense of ho...Thanks for all your insights Ray! Your sense of how this taxonomy applies to posts and blogs matches my thinking exactly. I struggled with the "posts full of links" some as I developed this. I'm glad you raised the issue about a possible fifth class. I had started to consider transitional forms between the four types during the week, but I did not get clarity until just now. I'll add a new post to address the quick links issue and several other anomalies that need more categories. This means I will also edit the original post to eliminate some contradictions. <BR/><BR/>This mutual provocation of ours today --certainly qualifies us "Conversation Bloggers". Thanks again Ray!<BR/><BR/>TomTom Haskinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12658791778134826289noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5117005533318160902.post-588277064036538652007-03-16T11:55:00.000-06:002007-03-16T11:55:00.000-06:00Thanks Tom. 1) I find this a useful categorization...Thanks Tom. <BR/><BR/>1) I find this a useful categorization. <BR/><BR/>2) A potential fifth category is the "link blog" that primarily passes along "quick links" (as some call them) without any deep analysis. Or, perhaps "news blog" would be a more generous category label. <BR/><BR/>I tried to get myself to say these fit within Archive; however, the level of original thought (low for link blog) and long term value (again low) seems to separate them into something else yet.<BR/><BR/>Perhaps an analog to digg.com where by passing quality links along the authoring is "digg-ing"?<BR/><BR/>That all said, I'm with mixed emotion with this potential additional Class. How many times do I wish to see that Cisco purchased WebEx or what Time Magazine did for person of the year?<BR/><BR/>3) I need to re-read your series here, but I forget if you are classifying blogs or particular blog posts? In my own case I'm mostly (I hope and intend) Conversational, but have aspiration for Archive and temptation to Distraction or Link blog. So my own answer is that the categorization absolutely applies at the scale of Post and approximately applies at scale of Blog...with many hybrids out there...especially with the folks that slip in the Democratic interleaved in their otherwise Conversation or Archive blog. I wish these folks would just create a separate blog instance to give me easier filtering. <BR/><BR/>Be well,<BR/>RayAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
