Paul Kedrosky writes that the bloggers liked best were people who spent most of their time doing some other things than blog. They find a few minutes for blogging here and there between doing other things, and still find time to get stuff out there on a daily basis, but they don't spend most of their time blogging.
Few a generation ago, the world is better able to read and more knowledgeable. There are top 35 nations which have 99 percent or better literacy. In advanced nations, computers and the Internet are changing the way people reading and knowledge sharing process. It can make now clear that the younger generation prefer the internet to the printed media for reading general news and express their view to the world. Search engines and hyperlinks, those underlined words or phrases that when clicked take us to a new Web page, have turned the online literary tour into a kind of U-pick island-hop. We can take an example of Sakuntala’s drama written by Kalidasa in 3rd century which a student of the play can read probably all the way through and then search separate commentaries and analyses in web. The reading experience should be better on online compare to paper. Techniques like PARC’s ScentHighlights highlights whole sections of text it determines we should pay special attention to, as well as other words or phrases that it predicts we will be interested in are offering the kind of reading that is above and beyond what paper can offer.
Stanford University research group is taking a different approach in hopes of making reading on mobile phones faster and easier. Analysts expect mobile phones to evolve into a multipurpose "third screen," along with televisions and computers displaying both pictures and text. But the small screen size has made reading bulky, as users scroll through tiny screen after screen. To solve that, Buddy Buzz, a project of a small group within the Stanford Persuasive Technology Laboratory, flashes text to the viewer a word at a time. Users who sign up can download news from Reuters and CNET, from several popular Internet bloggers. Users can also feed their own texts into the website and have them sent to their mobile phone, or offer their content to other Buddy Buzz users. Neither ScentHighlights nor Buddy Buzz is commercially available, though a free test version of the latter is available at the Buddy Buzz website.
