Evan Williams es el creador de Blogger, uno de los principales servicios de alojamiento de bitácoras (al que por cierto no tenemos nada que envidiar desde Blogalia). Fue fundado en agosto de 1999 por Pyra Labs, que Google compró en febrero de este año. Así que Williams trabaja ahora con la gente de Google, dice en una entrevista titulada 'Blog on' que en la sede del buscador hay más de 200 empleados que mantienen su blog. Aún no me creo la cifra. ¿Una tendencia en los blogs?: los fotoblogs, dice Williams. Su weblogs es EVHead

"What are the biggest trends going on in blogging right now?
Photos are a very big thing. Using digital cameras will become a core way people publish in general--you can now actually post to Blogger through your camera phone. And with various devices coming out with more and more wireless access, we think mobility will be a big part of the blogging--making notes or recordings from wherever you are.

There's a lot of stuff going on in terms of trying to better define the networks. A key element of Web blogs is the community element. Most blogs are not self-contained; they are highly dependent on linking to each other. That's been a fairly manual progress. There's a lot of effort going on to map who's linking to each other and to define the circles of influence....

What effect is blogging having on traditional journalism? Would it ever replace or dilute the value of traditional journalism?
It's certainly having an impact. From a blog reader's perspective, it certainly affects where I go and where I get and read my news. It is a more complex ecosystem now, so for the most part, I think they're complementary; blogs tend to be more about filtering and adding commentary and perspective--but there is some original reporting that's going on there. And the journalists who take advantage of blogs, I think, can do a better job of reporting on their areas."
