What is a blog? Good Interview with Howard Rheingold video clip
Tuesday, April 26, 2005
Got a great video interview in the backyard of Howard Rheingold and some of the clearest definitions of what blogs really are.
It has been quite surprising to see how difficult it can be for some of the popular bloggers I have interviewed so far, to explain, in a few, simple words, what a blog is. Of course the less geeky ones have some advantage at this, as they are more trained at exemplifying and popularizing complex ideas to non-technical audiences. In this respect Howard and before him Jay Cross, gave me some very clear and easy to understand definition for blogs which I feel are right on the mark with the communication goals of this movie.

I plan to start soon posting some of this video clips on this blog, both to share the work being done as well as allowing others to start taking and re-using this initial footage.
Coming up: Back to Italy :: Cinecittà is next
