WDL is a collaborative transdisciplinary blog about the impact of digital technologies upon writing and lived experience. We talk about writing and reading in the context of 'new and old' media, transliteracy, craft, art, process and practice, social networks, cooperation and collaboration, narrative and memory, human computer interaction, imagination, nature, mind, body, and spirit.
I came across the following link while tidying up my website
http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio4/reith2003/lectures.shtml
I guess most of you will have listened to it already but if you haven't it is pertinent to all discussion on digital life
It is easy listening, too. I sat engrossed for hours after coming out of hospital a year or two ago.
Has anyone come across any figures on what people can expect to make if they put ads on their weblogs via Google, Yahoo or others these days? I only have one data point - a blogger with several hundred readers a week made $25 over the period of a few months. Surely by now someone has produced some kind of chart or database (or academic article?)
I don't believe most bloggers do it for the money but it would be interesting to know whether they make any noticeable sums at all...
