Blogging, the intermedia and the left

bobelliotsghost — Sun, 07 Sep 2008 08:52:26 +0000

Labourmatters has stirred up something of a hornet's nest with his suggestions that Labour bloggers shouldn't link to Tory blogs.

The problem is that the Labour left has taken up the idea of blogging in its most liberal, even socialist sense, and not understood that others aren't playing by the same rules.

So I'm proposing a new word to help us understand the difference. The new word is intermedia.

Intermedia is that form of pubishing that sits between the mainstream media and the amateur world of blogging.

Paul Staines of Guido Fawkes isn't a blogger; he's an intermedia publisher. Iain Dale isn't a blogger, he's an intermedia publisher. Alex and Jag at Labourhome might want to think about where they fit in this as well.

Now, Paul Staines isn't a friend of the Labour Party, or an amateur at this. To quote Sourcewatch "Paul Staines was the creator of Popular Propaganda, a libertarian marketing enterprise which produced T-shirts and posters aimed at the student market. It was moderately successful and earned him a degree of notoriety in the mid-80s in student politics." So, Staines stands for everything we don't believe in; why should we link to him?

I'll float a suggestion. Instead of linking to him, why not link to our alternative versions of the truth about Paul 'drunken driver' Staines, a man who seems happy to hide behind overseas addresses and operating arrangements designed to make it impossible for him to be sued.

Iain Dale? Failed Tory PPC, former bookshop owner, former publisher, funded (allegedly) by Lord Ashcroft and all round media whore. DOn't link to him; tell people about him. Remind them that he can't be trusted, link to posts about the hypocrisy about his whinging about other people not wanting to link to him when he ruthlessly edits the comments on his own site to make it look like no-one disagrees with him.

The idea that there's some kind of community interest between all bloggers, including intermedia publishers who call themselves bloggers, is getting in the way of pointing out that Iain Dale has no right to claim he's an impartial arbitrator in the new media world.

Faces.MD si Impulse.Bg - Aproape nici o diferenta.

rezolution — Mon, 01 Sep 2008 19:00:52 +0000

Neogenul a trecut consecutiv la designul si structura unui alt site ce il detine in bulgaria : "impulse.bg" !

Deja nu e aproape nici o deosebire intre cele doua site-uri.

Inca mai sunt voci ca primul design faces.md a fost cel mai bun , alti sustin ca functionalitatea faces.md dupa neogen este un plus , iar altii sunt de parerea ca tot ce se face , se face spre bine... ! sper si eu asa...mai mult pentru dezvoltarea internetului in Moldova..:)

PS : Pretul la publicitate pe faces.md (pentru cei care nu stiu , si pentru cei care nu gasesc link-ul "publicitate" in josul site-ului) este de 1 euro pentru mia de afisari a bannerului . Dupa estimarile lor , zilnic site-ul inregistreaza 170 mii afisari . Dupa un simplu calcul reese ca pretul unui banner publicitar pe zi este de 170 euro si 5100 euro / luna ! Un pret destul de impunator pentru piata noastra...! Oricum se gasesc cumparatori de reclama ...

De apreciat faptul ca publictate este numai pe prima pagina !

Un alt "mijloc" de venit al faces-ului este SMS-votingul care aduce un profit destul de consistent , luând in consideranta ca un SMS simplu costa : 6.6 lei si respectiv cel "triplu" 13.2 lei ! De mentionat faptul ca unii utilizatori au cite >2000 de SMS-uri primit , iar premiile pe care le ofera Faces.md pentru cistigatori sunt nu mai scumpe de 100 euro + premii oferite de parteneri si sponsori. (...Organizatorul concursului "Top 101" este Compania "Best Jobs" SRL, situata la adresa: or. Chisinau, str. Vlahuta 26 numit in continuare Organizator...) ;

PS2 : Site-ul BestJobs.MD a devenit rapid unul din liderii din domeniul "Job site" atingind numarul de 3000-4000 de vizitatori unici pe zi .

Taijiquan - 48 movimenti stile Yang (codificata)

taijispot — Mon, 14 Jul 2008 08:47:42 +0000

La forma di 48 movimenti codificata dello stile Yang (come del resto la forma 24, la forma mista 42 movimenti, la forma di spada 32 movimenti e la forma di spada 42 movimenti) è una forma cosiddetta "codificata". Ciò significa che essa non deriva direttamente dalla tradizione e/o dal lignaggio di qualche scuola o famiglia del Taijiquan tradizionale (ad esempio la famiglia Chen o la famiglia Yang), ma è stata "creata ad hoc" dalla commissione sportiva cinese in tempi recenti (inizio anni '50).

Se la forma 24 movimenti Yang (detta anche "di Pechino") è stata creata "ad hoc" per avvicinare i neofiti al Taijiquan (con un particolare occhio verso il benessere fisico e spirituale), la forma 48 movimenti Yang nasce per esigenze agonistiche.

In tempi recenti infatti, l'esigenza di creare una forma unica per le competizioni di Taijiquan spinse la commissione sportiva cinese a convocare alcuni maestri (tra cui il famoso Li Deyin) per crearne una unica che fornisse analoghi elementi di valutazione degli atleti ai giudici di competizione.

Così dopo qualche anno di studio venne creata questa forma, la quale può dirsi "un'estratto" dello stile Yang. Divenuta molto popolare, anche attraverso la diffusione di libri e video, la forma di 48 movimenti codificata dello stile Yang anche se tutt'oggi largamente diffusa, venne sostituita ben presto dalla forma di 42 movimenti mista che è ancora oggi in uso nelle competizioni di Taijiquan moderno.

Per i principianti, praticare la forma di 48 movimenti, che personalmente considero una forma intermedia da imparare subito dopo le forme di base, può aiutare ad andare avanti nello studio e nella conoscenza del mondo del Taijiquan.

La forma di 48 movimenti codificata dello stile Yang è da non confondere assolutamente con la forma 49 movimenti della famiglia Yang che per contenuti, struttura, esecuzione e tradizione è del tutto diversa.
