睡到自然醒blog

由Technorati top 100博客排行榜显示，博客早已不再是网络日记的载体。除了前50名内的Dooce流水账类的日记型博客外，其它博客均涉及政治、科技、名人轶事、如何博客等专业话题。即使是关于个人生活类型相关话题也显得有些稀奇古怪。

Technorati排名第一的博客当属Huffington Post，由众多作者参与写作贡献，Huffington Post看起来更像一本在线杂志，Huffington Post俨然成为互联网第一大报。

是的，现在的博客越来越像新闻报纸或杂志，Technorati排名较前的博客尤其如此。TechCrunch排名第二，其余前5位一次为Gizmodo，Engadget，Boing Boing。

因此可以看出，读者更关注某特定话题，而博客则提供类似报纸服务的最新新闻资讯。报纸也开始整合进博客，以博客文章的形式在线发表，如纽约时报旗下的Caucus Politics博客(Caucus Politics博客Technorati排名26)。

Blogs are no longer personal diaries if you look at the Technorati top 100. Dooce is the only personal blog I could see in the top 50, and the drought continues in the next 50. There are blogs on politics, technology, celebrities, how to blog, but about a blogger’s personal life? Hardly, unless you include whom Om Malik met or what Scobie has been doing — and their natter is more geek than personal.

...The Huffington Post is the current No 1 with more than 27,000 blogs linking to it. But is HuffPo a blog with its roster of contributors –isn’t it more like a magazine?

See, blogs are becoming more like newspapers and magazines. That is evident from the top-ranked blogs: TechCrunch, No 2, Gizmodo,  No 3, Engadget, No 4, Boing Boing,  No 5, and many more down the list.

...People are more interested in specific information — served in an offbeat fashion in Boing Boing’s case — than in the personal lives of strangers.
Blogs are providing information like newspapers do.

Newspapers are also getting into blogs. The Caucus Politics, a New York Times blog, is ranked 26th — and Bits, the newspaper’s technology blog, is 40th. via

个人博客与多人博客(团队博客)相比较各有优缺点：个人博客维护方便，以个人爱好、关注点为中心撰写相关博客话题，相对较自由，缺点是及时更新压力较大；多人团队博客更新速度则快的多，话题也较多元化，发展速度较快，能在较短时间内达到一定规模，但缺点是维护麻烦，需要沟通协调，博客写作文风也需要一定程度的统一。
