Leonardo Chiariglione, by many considered the father of .mp3, is an Italian scientist who has spent his professional life trying to transform Digital Media from being a potentially useful resource to becoming a set of actual benefits to society and business through such initiatives as HDTV Workshop, MPEG, Image Communication, 64 kbit/s Workshop, DAVIC, FIPA, OPIMA and SDMI. Riding the Media Bits recounts Mr. Chiariglione experience built over more than 30 years in the field. Check out his Digital Media Project (DMP) which is his current international effort.

I have had the pleasure to meet Mr. Chiariglione at the recent Top-IX conference on broadband media, and was happy to find him available and open to answer my set rapid-fire questions on what blogs are. Here is what he had to say:

"A blog is a system for people to publish, release, disclose, share private content with six billion other people in the world.

When I say private is the fact that this must be your information. It cannot be information that is owned by others unless you have the right to do that.

So I mean, it's information that you create yourself, it’s your ideas, it’s your video, it’s your music, it’s your whatever.

And then you post it and share it with the other web inhabitants.

A blog has a great potential whether the evolution of the blog will be a much resemblance with the blog of today, that I don’t know.

But for sure, the idea, which is essentially the publication and sharing of information so that we can collectively create more out of the individual contribution, that’s there to stay and to evolve further."
