Noesis

From watching some of the posts aggregated on deaf-blogs.com is that people cannot move away from a forum mentality. Perhaps it is the focus of aggregated content that is causing this? It seems to happen less with other aggregated sites, and perhaps this is related to a lack of perceived history, and different demographics?

My perception of blogging is that people craft their own blogs, and the content that goes with it. Perhaps trackbacks between blogs happen, where there is an interest in content, or to challenge a view. However, blogs move on from this, and topics tend to be varied, with individuals neuturing their own blog, into a quality that they become proud of.

Instead, I feel as if I'm observing the treatment yet another forum, and questions fill my head as to how to move away from this. And yes, we need more quality content. Blogging to date, we've seen plenty of personal sites, and there is a definite role for this, but what about the journalistic commentary? There is so much scope for this.
