Another article by T Mortensen ;Weblogs and the Dilemma of Academia"

This article discusses personal publication and public attention involved in this 'new' form of personally creating ones identity and life through an online forum and array of Web 2.0 applications now available.

in reference to:

"Weblogs and the Dilemma of Academia
The Internet brings that which never before was visible into the light of the day, mingling public information with private tidbits from which the public should perhaps be spared. Particularly, weblogs have been said to be private journals and diaries exposing what should rather have been kept in a drawer (Orlowski, 2003). This article is dedicated to this twilight zone of intimate confessions and professional information, and the political implications of the current academic debate concerning personal publication."
