Slide 28: Jon.Hoem@hib.no - 2008 Story and places As far as I'm concerned, the loss of place is a lost quality in movies. It comes with a loss of reality, a loss of identity.

Slide 50: Jon.Hoem@hib.no - 2008 Jörn Barger (1997) "... a weblogger (sometimes called a blogger or a pre-surfer) logs all the other webpages she finds interesting."

Slide 51: Jon.Hoem@hib.no - 2008 Arguably the weblog's most important features are usability, the personal voice, and the hypertextual connetions to, and feedback from other publicists. Chronological sequencing of posts is a technical feature! One can speak about weblogging even without sequencing. From this follows that spatial weblogging makes sense
