European reception of the
results
(null). (null) (null) / (null)
The EuroBlog2006 results were
mentioned in Switzerland, Poland, Italy, Austria, Hungary,
Denmark, United Kingdom, Germany, Romania and many more weblogs - thanks for
reporting!
One of the ideas of the survey was to find out, if there is something like a "European Blogosphere", kind of familiar to the Habermasian idea of a "public sphere". Even if weblogs can be transnational, the huge growth rate as well as the quality of blogs vary greatly. One further research idea could focus on the question if multinational companies need to have localized weblogs according to their subsidiaries' culture (like Microsoft France) or if multinationals can really run a globalized weblog (e.g. Yahoo Search) for image/brand reasons across all cultural boundaries. Especially in the rich local and regional culture of Europe this questions might be the key to local acceptance and response.
