The Blogger’s Toolbox

“Blogs get people excited. Or else they disturb and worry them. Some people distrust them. Others see them as the vanguard of a new information revolution. Because they allow and encourage ordinary people to speak up, they’re tremendous tools of freedom of expression. ” How very appropriate then that the organization “Reporters without borders” gives the world a handbook on how to blog. Dan Gillmor, Mark Glaser, Jay Rosen among others offer their succinct advice on how to write, what ethics might signify in this environment, which tools are best and Ethan Zuckerman gives a detailed description on how to blog anonymously. Unfortunatly this is a crucial survival tip in too many corners of this world. The book is concise, compassionate, helpful, free. But judge for yourself. http://www.rsf.org
