Are Germans just… Wiki-Blogger?

Whatever the author had in mind, it was everything else but quality research. Perhaps that’s why journalists fear them, why they hate them, why they cannot understand them: Bloggers are indefinable. I haven’t seen such a stupid and most false article about blogs and their authors. The author Jan Freitag combines illustrive thoughts to create the phenomenon of a „Wiki-Blogger“.

That term is supposed to describe the typical blog author of the German blogosphere. But does that really fit? No, because now your deepest fear called Citizen-Media strikes back: Netzpolitik.org points out with some feisty quotes from the original source that blog authors are no mindless creation between SmartMobs, Wikipedia authors, discussion community board writers, and they certainly do not origin from the Chaos Computer Club. Clearly, one site not to read is the Neues Deutschland – Sozialistische Tageszeitung – but by promoting and criticising them in the blogosphere only pushes them ahead.
