"Elections" or "Selections" ? Blogging the Nigerian 2007 General Elections

| | Unformatted Document Text:
... As a result of these practices, the blogosphere being both a network of interconnected texts and a
manifestation of social networks, can structure attention and provide social capital. These emergent
qualities are based upon single blogging episodes guided by rules of selection, publication, and
networking and are employed in strategies of information management, identity management, and
relationship management (emphasis added).
Not only is blogging framed by rules, relations and code, the weblog can be used as an agent of social change, and also
as a means of information, identity, and relationship management.
The analytical model Schmidt (2007) proposes, as represented below in Figure 1, is a plausible framework that has the
potential of evolving into a systematically formalized architecture of blogging acts, both at the meta- and structural-
levels. In other words, the model can be used to derive a formally specified algorithm for analyzing and representing
blogging practices dynamically.
