I'm revamping my class in New Media and was wondering if anyone knew of any
new books out there on blogs that one could recommend be set as a course
text (i.e., a shorter book aimed at undergrads or a general public). I'm not
looking for "How To" books, but perhaps a more critical approach to the
phenomena. I've noted a number of books on blogs listed on Amazon.

Also, or instead, if anyone knows of any decent articles on blogs that might
work as a critical overview to set instead of a whole book, I'd appreciate
it.

Offlist replies are fine.

Thanks, in advance,

Greg Wise
