From Smart Mobs: Tsunami Blogs: “Yahoo offers this roundup of tsunami blogs from around the Web covering the topics of emergency relief and aid, finding the missing and/or identifying the dead, and reconstruction and renewal.

Internet web logs – blogs – are offering a different view into the greatest natural disaster of our times. The immediacy with which blogs can deliver and disseminate personal accounts, information, and news about the tsunami disaster is an essential component to Yahoo! News’ in-depth coverage of this historic event.”

You can now query Technorati for advanced search terms such as tsunami AND (“red cross” OR “red crescent“) and it will give you all of the blog posts in order by how long ago they were posted that include the word “tsunami” and either “red cross” or “red crescent”. You can then click “Make this a Watchlist” and create an RSS feed so you can track all new posts that match that query in your news reader.

From Pew Internet & American Life Project: Blogosphere:

By the end of 2004 blogs had established themselves as a key part of online culture. Two surveys by the Pew Internet & American Life Project in November established new contours for the blogosphere: 8 million American adults say they have created blogs; blog readership jumped 58% in 2004 and now stands at 27% of internet users; 5% of internet users say they use RSS aggregators or XML readers to get the news and other information delivered from blogs and content-rich Web sites as it is posted online; and 12% of internet users have posted comments or other material on blogs. Still, 62% of internet users do not know what a blog is.

为今晚做阅读准备，遭遇Barthes’ words:

Truth always rests with the minority, and the minority is always stronger than the majority, because the minority is generally formed by those who really have an opinion, while the strength of a majority is illusory, formed by the gangs who have no opinion — and who, therefore, in the next instant (when it is evident that the mino rity is the stronger) assumes its opinion, which then becomes that of the majority, i.e., becomes nonsense…while Truth again reverts to a new minority.

Via John Battelle’s Searchblog: “if more and more services in 2005 add user-generated tagging, will “federated tagging” be far behind? And if someone were to index all the tags from these various sites…. would the result be Taggle? Imagine: a service where you type in a keyword, and you get back all the hits that have that word as a tag. If Flickr, del.icio.us, and umpteen other sites cooperated, then an uber-tag-search service might just work . . .”
