I would go as far as saying that a site that does not ping a ping server, like weblogs.com, is NOT a blog (private Web sites don‚Äôt ping weblogs.com and are NOT discoverable by search engines).3) Social…. (I can‚Äôt do that with privatespaces).Scoble has caught a lot of heat for trying to define bogs so narrowly and has since agreed that he was wrong for trying to hold bloggers to five rules.So the question has to be asked, are there any hard and fast definitions for what a blog is? Some such as Stowe Boyd of /Message have stated thatSo, my take is we are back to counting dark blogs and the variousflavors of sinner blogs that don’t follow Scoble’s Five Commandments.Yes, leave out the real mechanical splogs, but everything else counts.If you had to define a short definition that could be used to identifiy what is and what is not a blog, what would it be?
