If a tree falls in the forest and there's no blog about it, has it really fallen?

Online publication is maturing as authors and journalists develop their own online presence and others are using the web to become media themselves. Enter the world of Blogs and RSS and Wikis.

WISH LIST

As we discuss in the Sustainable Tourism Wish List, could we see innovative support for independent journalists, such as paying independent writers to blog?

TRAFFIC

Say the manager of a collective blog: "I like the sharing of various points of view. Controversy drives traffic and is good for the site."

WIKI

Wikis are the new blog.

REAL SIMPLE SYNDICATION (RSS)

BLOGS
