I had written something these lines a few years ago… Sorry it is in French.

But somehow it is a distributed architecture around comments and blogs. If we really think about it a comment, a blog post, and a tweet have the same features usually.

an author, a url (or url-fragment), a text, a date.

blog posts have usually in addition a title and sometimes categories.

Tony White is the author of novels including Foxy-T (Faber and Faber) and the non-fiction work Another Fool in the Balkans. Tony also co-edited the fiction anthology Croatian Nights (Serpent’s Tail/VBZ). Balkanising Bloomsbury is a fiction project by White which reworks the archive of existing texts about the Balkans, from travel writing, Hague tribunal transcripts and mass media texts, using experimental literary techniques to create completely new works of fiction which explore ideas of European identity.

Author Lisa Iwamoto explores the methods architects use to calibrate digital designs with physical forms. The book is organized according to five types of digital fabrication techniques: tessellating, sectioning, folding, contouring, and forming. Projects are shown both in their finished forms and in working drawings, templates, and prototypes, allowing the reader to watch the process of each fantastic construction unfold.

the author

Well, the author can say it is anything they want, but that doesn't change what it actually is. It is literally not possible to send XHTML5 as text/html, because as soon as you label it as text/html, you are stating "it is HTML".

I used to think that too, but then I realised that in the real world it is different. Browsers sniff, and media types are hard-wired into software, rather than being an extension point. You have to row with the oars you have got. As I said, I send documents with media type text/html, not because they are necessarily HTML, but because I want them in the browser. I agree that the document gets *processed* as HTML, but the document doesn't magically change type just because it gets sent with a certain media type.

Search is an integral part of peoples' online lives; people turn to search engines for help with a wide range of needs and desires, from satisfying idle curiousity to finding life-saving health remedies, from learning about medieval art history to finding video game solutions and pop music lyrics. Web search engines are now the second most frequently used online computer application, after email. Not long ago, most software applications did not contain a search module. Today, search is fully integrated into operating systems and is viewed as an essential part of most information systems.
