The phrase that comes to condense all the meaning is as follows: The blogosphere is a conversation. Personally, after so long here, if it is hardly anything, I can not agree more and I am trying to pursue this conversation with varying success, with more or less intensity, obviously, depending on timing and circumstances.

Unfortunately, it often happens that you are human, make mistakes, forgetfulness and suffering are not aware or if you have checked all sources, not even all points of view that one can not stop to read carefully all the posts that are published or all items, or follow all the links, let all the comments. Yes, it is true that one tries to keep up, but do not have time to read everything, sometimes even to post, much less comment, one can move sideways for a story that looks interesting, but over time to discover that this is very good. Ultimately, as the university graffiti, that wisdom seems to haunt me, but unfortunately for me, I'm faster.

To understand what I get, we must begin by the quintessence of the blogosphere: the reference and debate. While the blogosphere is evolving and we would need an entire article to try to tease apart the forms and ways in which it is published, we will stay with these two types of texts cited, since they are the essential and basically many bloggers go through them .

Some say that blogs were born essentially as references to other things, as if it were a guide for discovery, as does the author of the blog that maintains it. An example of this type of blogs is strict Wind Tower. But many blogs do not fall into this extreme but they do seem to believe that the texts are simple links can be very useful, hence born the mini-posts or mini-links. But of course the performance of mini-links or maintaining a log reference librarian depends largely on the author.

In any case, some specific events it can generate a lot of cross references. In the case of biblioblogosfera we post What the Internet users search the Web See also published. Basically, it happened that the Yahoo search engine decided to create on its front page a section called What the Internet users search the Web and See also proved that a Biblioblog, appeared as the first involving erotic blogs, which led to an exponential increase as collaterals of number of visits. This error of Yahoo was collected and referenced by other Biblioblogs as Deakialli Documentary or Catorze.Blog.

Curiosity became older and had no greater impact, however the stories not only represent an interesting activity in the blogosphere, we can also find us with some more informed discussions with the above. For example, which came after Andrea from See also published the Necessity of Chaos before I felt the need not to answer and Andrea at the blog, but just answer through this. Thus was born a conversation that jumped from one site to another, but was developed in two different blogs had not lost one iota of interest.

As you can see, the interest on a topic, a particular impact on him, causing the fact can be retracted in various blogs, which is discussed from various points of view and if it needs to be dissected to some extent. Álvaro may very While analysis on this point that I will not delve further. However, sometimes producing what I like to call Gollum syndrome (Please no one take offense), the proprietary information that is published on a blog. This can be done in a personal way or somehow through delegation, and have two phrases that generally You already said / she said and not me / I bind, ie My tesssoro. Today, I have two examples I have suffered and as such I referenced.

1. Catalan Librarians of the '20s.

In August this month, I discovered a story that picked up the regional television of Catalonia (TV3) related to the education of librarians in the 20s. The news was about the discovery of a roll film in which there had been some of the classes they received. As I said then, look for the biblioblogosfera had said something about it, fearing the worst, I found nothing, so I started to translate the note from the TV adding the link to the video.

Soon, someone said that Alice had got this news, which surprised me since she had searched and found nothing. The question is: What need had I to look for anything to run the story on this blog?

2. Bush radio-related joke.

From the news we turn to the story, curiously from one medium to another and from one blog to another. I hear on the radio a joke about Bush related to libraries and pick it up, then someone reminds me that he had already published as l or had heard on television two days earlier.

These two events are minor and unimportant, I suppose there's probably somewhere where I also made the Gollum, however it appears that in the biblioblogosfera tried to cut the wings when someone tries a new approach to something or refresh the memory. They can generate comments like: You already told Fulanito in September 2003. What is the problem? Why I can not tell my way today? Where was I in September 2003? A little quiet please.

Some might consider, given the seen, I've become somewhat paranoid, I exaggerate, but do not know yet the experience of other blogs about the reminder that something has been said before, I do believe that there have been cases more than bind this blog. An example of this, but is really tangential, is what occurred in the group Biblogsfera and completely serves to exemplify what we are discussing here today.

What we must keep in mind is that not all bloggers read the same blogs, not all read everything that is published, not all read what was published, not all readers know what blogs are or how they work, and so on. The impact of news and visibility is measured by how much the media referenced in the case of the blogosphere happens the same, albeit to be the first to break news is cause for pride, not kill the oddly appropriate messenger of information.

"Right to date? Of course, I welcome and if I exercise I did is that I missed, I have admitted time and again and am the first to admit my mistakes and slips (From sages say). We're not talking about plagiarism, but the ways you can address an issue or to relist it. I only believe in a thing which is summarized in one sentence: Publish Damned (Bypass, on the other hand, one of Franz Kafka: citad damned). Simply put, the more you post on a story greater impact and visibility. Everything else is kicking fools that do not lead anywhere and I'm going to stop being afraid. Simply, if it happened to me is that I did not realize or did not know or was unknown, so sorry but I have no regrets.
