WindKiller's Findings: "It is public record"
NextStage: Predictive Intelligence, Persuasion Engineering, Interactive Analytics and Behavioral Metrics I introduced one of my correspondents, WindKiller, in WindKiller's Findings: Men's Room Murals as Gender Specific Marketing. WindKiller sent me Grandfather turns to blog to detail case. WindKiller's email contained a great deal more information than is shown in that link, so I'll share what he wrote and why it intrigued me.

Before I forget, Robert Logan, the fellow mentioned in the article, supposedly has a blog on Yahoo. I couldn't find it, and yes, I did look for it.

Mr. Logan is documenting a murder trial in his blog. This article intrigues me because of something Mr. Logan says.

'Logan said he didn't think his blog was inflammatory or a danger to the murder case.
"It is public record," Logan said.'

I haven't written much about The Village in a while and here it comes at me, writ large. I'm sure others have said they were going to use their blogs as a public record. Mr. Logan even starts his blog out by defining the normal function of a blog and offering that his will be different. I've never heard anyone state it as such.

A blog as a public record. I know that people often consider papers such as the NYTimes, the Wall Street Journal, The LA Times, The Washington Post, the San Francisco Chronicle, ..., as newspapers of record, meaning if something appears in them it has more relevance/meaning/certainty than if it appears in, say, The East Overshoe Weekly Shopping Guide.

But a blog as a public record. When you consider all the cross-indexing, search engining, even this blog taking note of that blog...

Welcome to another facet to the Village. A community forms and a reality is shared. The reality shared, the "public record" may only be valid for a time, for a person, a group, or a tribe.

Yet it all cases it is real because The Village -- the public within which the community forms -- makes it so.
