Blog Intent

The edition/redaction is based on a model, the same since so much years. Introduction, developpment, etc. The ideas must be presented with concordance, logic and structure. This is logic. But the way from A to B, to demonstrate or illustrate something needs control and restriction of the ideas put in the text.

Things changed.
The power of the web, especially from the moment when there is a possibility to contribute to the content, the speed of update increases : new stuff is now published AND read in real-time.

To me, this is a major contribution of a major shift in redaction, making the example, influences or references up to date, from what just happened.

But this gives a major challenge to human memory because archiving process cannot stand the same; facts and major part of events are remembered over the years, letting details forgotten.
I personally believe the principle stands on "crossing" the information, and renewing the new stuff. The short-time reference in encouraged as the references aim last events, and not old ones kept in old books.
