The Spirit of the Weblog

Dave Winer他们发起的BloggerCon是一场将于10月4/5号在哈佛法学院举行的Bloggers Conference:

"The focus of BloggerCon is weblogs in journalism, education, science, business and politics. We're interested in people's experiences with weblogs, now that they've been in use for five or six years, depending on who you ask. This is not a technical visionary venue, nor is it a place for political activism. Our interest is in the use of weblogs."[BloggerCon in a Nutshell]

Dave在其一篇post中着重论述了The Spirit of the Web,他在回忆了一段跟Chris从相识到共事的经历后感悟"the dark side of the Web that sucks in traffic and doesn't let go, and the light side that distributes flow, trusting that if I send you somewhere good you'll come back to me for more".

"The Web is about that kind of trust. The weblog world, when it works, works like that. But human beings populate this world, so we see lots of un-weblike bullshit too, resentment, jealousy, exclusion, even hate. But this is not what the Web is about, it's the opposite, about linking, about listening, about respect. Perhaps an appropriate motto for weblogs is that we trust the universe. We're all bozos on this bus, we make shitty software, and so do you".

maoj看了感叹"对于blogger来说,web 不仅仅是倾诉的对象,记录的载体,而且是思考的空间,终身学习的场所";我个人认为这个概括是蛮全面的,一直以来我都从IsaacZheng这些优秀的blogger身上学到了许多,他们待人的态度,他们做事的精神,尤其是他们亲身实践的终身学习,更是让我受益非浅;而Goghs以他令人羡慕的才华一直激励着我,让我明白无论做什么事兴趣都非常重要,最让我难忘的是一次MSN上的谈话,让我明白在很多时候我真的很浮躁,应该找一件真正让自己安静下来认认真真去做的事情.

而且在weblog空间,真情实感无所不在,同样可以延伸出现实中的各种情感;很多时候我们都可以认为,blogosphere其实就是现实空间的变体.

我blogging以来认识比较早的blogger其中一个是Keke,今天12点他就要离开中国飞去遥远的他乡Edinburgh,昨晚MSN上跟他告别的时候我感觉似乎是在某个机场跟现实朋友在告别,有那么点依依不舍;那次看Liang的PP时,突然有一种感觉,这个做事敏捷技术过人看起来是那么厚实的人怎么有点象我的兄长?还有那次MSN上的集体会议,因为我使用的代理老是掉线,hilton做起了gateway的角色,把由于掉线而拉下的讨论内容一字不漏地找出来发给我,看起来似乎事小,然而却足以看出一个人的品质.

我不知道自己是否太感性了,亦或我太容易被感动?反正这就是我理解中的weblog精神,无须概括,只能体会.
