[Air-L] bloggers and weavers

[Murray Turoff]

peter and johnson Lenz who did a lot of interesting design work on Computer
Mediated Communications in the 70's and 80's especially on the EIES system
once proposed the concept of the "weavers" on the web as those that brought
together discussion threads in new ways to provide both summaries and
innovative ideas.  I always felt this was a better term for blogging or what
blogging should be.  They did design one sysetm along this idea for people
to be able to weave views of the future for others to travel.  The original
context was ways to try and reduce information overload.
