The Life Cycle of a Blog Post http://www.wired.com/special_multimedia/2008/ff_secretlife_1602 The Life Cycle of a Blog Post, From Servers to Spiders to Suits — to You
Great diagram visualisation
You have a blog. You compose a new post. You click Publish and lean back to admire your work. Imperceptibly and all but instantaneously, your post slips into a vast and recursive network of software agents, where it is crawled, indexed, mined, scraped, republished, and propagated throughout the Web. Within minutes, if you've written about a timely and noteworthy topic, a small army of bots will get the word out to anyone remotely interested, from fellow bloggers to corporate marketers

In an interview format, hosted by Shannon Clark, the event organizer, Robert and Shel discuss the background of their book, including its creation and development as part of a blog.
Much of the presentation is devoted to questions and comments from the audience, discussing such issues as the difference between group and individual blogs, as well as how corporate bloggers are dealing with the possible tension between authority and freedom of expression.

Some bloggers recently have been debating what, if any, ethics the Weblog community should follow. Since not all bloggers are journalists and the Weblog form is more casual, they argue they shouldn't be expected to follow the same ethics codes journalists are.
CyberJournalist.net has created a model Bloggers' Code of Ethics, by modifying the Society of Professional Journalists Code of Ethics for the Weblog world. CyberJournalist.net follows this code and urges other Weblogs to as well.
