Why Weblogs are better than Newssites

Written May 26. 1999, at 01:00 GMT.

Weblogs are tailor-made to meet the tastes of the log-keeper (and possibly his relatively small band of virtual followers). The big news-sites try to take every view into count and to reach the interest of a broad group of people. They make the incorrect assumption that people will like the vast selection of news and content and will spend their valuable time browsing through it.

The weblog is in no way perfect fit (except fot the log-keeper) and it doesn't claim to be. But the important point that makes it stand above the News site, is that at least it's made to fit someone, and there is always a small group of people that have the same views and preferences as this "someone".
