On Collaborative Weblogs

fernand0 writes "The 5th International Symposium on Online Journalism has dealt with some blogging issues (see the Symposium Research Papers). One that can be of interest for Slashdot readers is When the Audience is the Producer: The Art of the Collaborative Weblog (pdf). There, four collective weblogs are examined: MetaFilter, Plastic, Kuro5hin, and Slashdot, and some discussion is done about the different ways of collaboration that emerge from these sites."

    Intelligent conversations, mostly about political issues. Not much "geek news" but I suppose that's what Slashdot is for.

    I feel for Rusty from Kuro5hin...basically he closed his news site for the same reason I closed mine... crapflooder problems.
