Bibliography on blog literature - 18/05/2005

I started to annotate these, as I read through them doing research for an article I am writing on weblog literacy. Then I found the Kairosnews list and through that Kaye Trammel’s bibliography, and suddenly this bibliography grew too rapidly for me to read and comment on every article. With the intensive work on the weblog literacy article the last days before deadline (and slightly after deadline), I no longer took the time to annotate the articles and books I added to the list, and I cannot promise I will be able to do it any time soon. But I will try to annotate new articles I add, and perhaps an article here and an article there, and the list will grow increasingly useful for us all.

            If you want to use and expand on this list, perhaps in a wiki format so that others can annotate each article, feel free, but I’d appreciate a little mention somewhere, as I have mentioned my main sources here. And with that, enjoy, but beware, I have not unified the format, there may be typos, so double check the references you decide to use, I am, at best, a lazy bibliographer.
