PUBLIC MARKS from vista with tags media & blog

China is the world's second-largest Internet market after the United States with more than 110 million users. A survey by Chinese search engine Baidu.com put the current number of blog, or Web log, sites at 36.82 million which are kept by 16 million people, the official Xinhua news agency said on Saturday. The number of Chinese bloggers is expected to hit 60 million by the end of this year, Xinhua said, quoting a report on China's media industry by the prestigious Tsinghua University.

在互联网时代，尤其在Blog益发普及，全民写作渐成习惯的今天，书面记录的易得性与存留性都已经不是决定因素，同时相对来说，事情发生不久后所写下的所见所闻所感，应当比若干时日后的回忆更确切真实可靠——所以，传统的“访谈”对于口述史是否不再那么重要和唯一？或者说，这种思路依然重要，但是可以补充一些新的形式，例如对数字形式记录（文字、图像、音频、视频）的搜集，或进行电脑中介沟通的“访谈”？当然，传统的face to face因有更多的信息渠道而更利于建立良好沟通，判别信息真伪，至少在当前的媒介技术基础上是如此。

我提出了 blog media 2.0 的概念。它包括几层含义： 1.它承认精英模式的意义，是从 blog media 1.0 基础上发展而来。 2.它也承认用户（读者）创造价值的能力，认同草根模式是未来信息输出的重要力量。 3.blog media 不应该单纯是“播报式”，社区化、社会化、个性化将是未来互联网的形态，blog media 2.0 同样是。 我目前想到的执行方案便是blog media 2.0= blog media 1.0 + digg 模式 + 圈子 。

因为最近感到优质Podcast好少，以前的不是听腻了，就是制作人没有定期的作品。就去在刚开始测试的雅虎播客（Yahoo!Podcasts)上面乱逛，看到一个教外国人中文的ChinesePod。听了几辑，觉得很好玩，哇哈哈。

Revolutions don't usually work out quite as planned. And that's what's happening now in the technology world with blogs. They are every bit as important as their boosters said they would be. But in an entirely different way. In the standard theory about technology blogs -- which was the conventional wisdom until a few months ago -- mainstream media were out of touch, elitist or simply ossified, and they would soon be supplanted by a grass-roots army of bloggers working intently at their laptops to speak truth to power.

A flurry of big deals in recent weeks provides many new ways for weblogs to turn a profit.
