Yesterday, PLoS ONE moved to the newest version of the TOPAZ platform. Rich Cave explains all the improvements that this move entails, including the citation download for articles, but one new feature that should really be exciting to bloggers are Trackbacks.
From now on, if you link to a PLoS ONE article in your post, that article will display a link back to your blog post (go to an article and look at the right side-bar, nested between the Discussions and Ratings). Thus, in addition to the conversation already going on in the commentary attached to the article itself, the readers will be able to access the responses from the blogosphere as well. And that should also bring additional traffic to the bloggers.

Web criticism

We've noted before how some business owners feel extremely threatened by criticism on the web. The idea that anybody can become a critic and have a platform to broadcast their opinion is a scary one for businesses that don't treat their customers well. But there's another related issue here: web criticism sticks around.

The last thing the world needs is another space blogger (or worse, a partisan jackass space bloggerwe have too many of them already), which is one reason why The Space Review is such a valuable resource. At its best, The Space Review provides an opportunity for longer, factual, and insightful essays that their authors have presumably (hopefully) put some thought into, rather than the typical blogasm.

The controversy around a young Web site called Associated Content boils down to perspective.
Does it exist to game Google search results and generate revenue through Google's AdWords advertising service by displaying contextual ads next to the copy? Or is it a new kind of media site, chock-full of original articles written mostly by average folk about everything from presidential pardons and karaoke to smoker's guilt and ventriloquism?

Write Articles, Not Blog Postings
    To demonstrate world-class expertise, avoid quickly written, shallow postings. Instead, invest your time in thorough, value-added content that attracts paying customers.

Google clip dump YouTube is to trial revenue sharing with normal users by adding some of its favourite uploaders to its partnership programme.
YouTube already shares advertising dollars with big commercial content firms who threaten it with lawsuits. Users who provide the site with their own home videos and film projects, such as the popular Ask A Ninja series, have long lobbied for a slice of the action.

Just find a few of your faves and you can send them to friends, embed them in your blog or MySpace, or even make your very own podcast with them -- and earn for sharing!

A fair bit of blogging advice centres on attracting readers and keeping them. There is a lot of good advice out there as well.
However, along with that advice you also need a method to test whether you are on the right track with your blog or not.
A simple way to test whether your blog provides value to the community is to put yourself in the shoes of your readers and ask yourself the following questions:

1. Is this blog unique? Does this blog provide any information that I cannot find anywhere else?
2. Is this blog original? Does it offer personal opinion instead of regurgitating or echoing views that other people share?
3. Is this blog essential? If I unsubscribed to this blog today, what would I lose out on?
