Blog Book

CultureCat is Clancy Ratliff's blog. She's a Ph.D. candidate at the University of Minnesota, doing her doctoral dissertation on (I'm not kidding):

Gender, Punditry, and Weblogs: A Feminist Rhetorical Analysis of Blogging's Challenge to Current Understandings of Political Discourse.
Well, anyway, she posted an interesting look at the phenomenon I've been following here, making books from blogs. Naturally Blog-to-Book, Hybrid Genre(s) has a decidedly academic bent. Still, along with the comments, it offers some different views of the trend. I hoped she would follow up with more posts, but a search of CultureCat turned up nada. For a true view of a blog become book with the BlogBinders.com service I've mentioned, cast your eyes over Philipp Lenssen's From Blog to Book. He even offers a video that displays the book from cover to cover (requires Windows Media Player).

I have a feeling we're gonna be seeing both a lot of weblog dissertations and Blog-to-Books in the near future.

Oh so? And why do you feel that? Thanks for stopping by. I enjoy reading your postings about life in Mexico. Perhaps you will publish your posts in a book too?
