Best Blogs of 2006 that You (Maybe) Aren't Reading


Every year around this time, I attempt to summarize what's been happening online by publishing my list of the best blogs of the year [2002, 2003, 2004].

Die Blog-Band


Die Arctic Monkeys als Prototyp der neuen Art, Musik zu machen. Momentan ist der Begriff des Web 2.0 in aller Munde. Damit wird ein Internet beschrieben, bei dem der Focus nicht mehr so sehr auf der Anwendung selbst liegt, sondern stärker auf die Benutzer. Freundlicher, netter, problemloser und vor allem kommunikativer soll das Internet werden. Und während die statischen Homepages allmählich von Blogs, Wikis und Contentmanagementsystemen abgelöst werden, ist auch der Umgang mit Musik im Umbruch begriffen. Bekanntestes Beispiel dafür: die Arctic Monkeys.
