note jonadab <blockquote>Is Slashdot a blog?</blockquote> <p>I would call slashdot one of the earliest and most influential blogs, although the fact that they publish reader-submitted stories (not just comments on the stories) does set it apart a bit from most others. Nonetheless, the content is very bloggish. Wikipedia, OTOH, has very unbloggish content, for the most part (excepting the Talk pages and a handful of special pages, but these are none of them the focus of the site). </p> <p>Perhaps the more interesting question is, is Perlmonks a blog? I mean, yes, the subject matter is technical, but surely there are blogs with highly technical subject matter (e.g., <a href="http://www.corante.com/pipeline/">In The Pipeline</a> is clearly a blog, and organic chemistry is every bit as technical as Perl, or at least would appear so to the layman), so I don't think that alone can exclude it.</p> <div class="pmsig"><div class="pmsig-230012"> <div>--&nbsp;</div> <div>We're working on a six-year set of <a href="http://bibleschoolmaterials.blogspot.com/">freely redistributable Vacation Bible School materials</a>.</div> </div></div> 606196 606209
