Tom Coates fait un bilan de 5 ans de blogging ce qui permet d'apprendre que Plasticbag renferme plus de mots que la Bible et que l'outil influence bien l'écriture : le passage de à c'est traduit chez lui par une baisse en fréquence de publication et un allongement des articles. A moindre échelle, c'est aussi ce qui s'est passé lorsque j'ai quitté Blogger pour Joueb.com/ViaBloga. Je me demande ce que ceci révèle sur les différents outils, et si d'autres switcheurs peuvent faire un constat analogue. Iok ?
Having said that I don't think my individual weblog is important, I do also believe there is value in the trivial and in the minutiae of people's lives and opinions - I believe that an individual's ability to express their voice online is a good and beautiful thing even if no one is listening. I think that possibly the explosion of personal writing that has happened around the web - the fact that millions of people are maintaining and writing about their lives is interesting and important and valuable. So no - I'm not seriously suggesting that my writing is as important as the bible, any more than I am suggesting that I am important as a person - but I would argue that people as a whole are interesting and important, just as I would argue that weblogs as a whole are interesting and important.
