Eryk,
I'm barely following the thread here Eryk, but I have to say MORE POWER
TO YOU! I am a woman with a mission trying to encourage people to
create blogs for their site. I even know of a blog that is art:
http:/glowlab.blogs.com/blogart/
For 2004 I'll be working on setting up potatoland with a blog. I think
it is absolutely fundamental that anybody calling themselves NET
ARTISTS have sites that have open content. Meaning, that they have
"broadcastable" content through RDF/RSS/XML feeds. That the sites
include comments as part of their content and that they are not just
linked by others but "trackbacked" to specific pages (a better
deep-linking) creating a context to the links.
It is not a perfect solution —there's the reality of spammers using
blogs in a myriad ways for their dastardly deeds. But if there is one
thing net artists can learn from net writers / bloggers is that this is
the best technology for successfully and effectively creating the nodal
relationships needed for supporting each other. Than in the real world
of the semantic web, the real communities are the ones that grow out of
people interacting through each other sites and in effect, distributing
the creativity freely, naturally.
Given that potatoland is mostly about distributed creativity, the next
logical step is to blog it.

All Net Artists should have blogs

Hi Liza;
There is a lot to be said about blogging, but there's a lot of stupid shit =
as well. I'm decked out with a comment system et al, and I have to say as f=
ar as distributed networks go I was not entirely interested in the networki=
ng elements of it until everyone seemed to think I should be, now I feel li=
ke that's what most bloggers want, is links. I never really understood that=
philosophy.
I have trackback functioning by way of blogger (and keep my own URL) but I'=
d have to pay for the RSS feed or whatever it is.
It's a thankless job, I think.
