Gridblogging

Definitions

Definition proposed by Robin Good at, http://www.masternewmedia.org/2003/11/14/intellectual_flash_mobbing_through_blogs.htm

"Grid blogging aims to investigate the potentials of a distributed media production model spread across blogosphere nodes. It seeks to ignite attention on specific topics at set times through variegated voices.A kind of decentralised flash mobbing for the mind, if you like. Decentralisation is key here. Unlike single collaborative blogging structures that unite discussions under the same URL, Grid blogging is about synchronized guerrilla publishing attacks carried out across a series of online locations." (http://www.masternewmedia.org/2003/11/14/intellectual_flash_mobbing_through_blogs.htm)

Grid-Blogging = simultaneous blogging on the same topic.

"The concept of "Grid-Blogging" (more recently called a "Blogposium") has so far consisted of creating a starter-subject, like the word "brand", and getting a huge amount of different (diverse) people to write about it, building conceptions about the subject. Then either using the "trackback" feature in the blog software, or a social bookmarking system to track the participants posting about the subject."
