  New Blogger.com Version ads Tagging
The list of new and updated features is pretty long, but the long awaited tagging and the integration of Blogger with Google Accounts make Blogger as an easy to use publishing tool a lot more coveted for me. Blogger has been one of the first platforms on the Web offering it's software to a global audience, but nothing has changed since I used it, I think with this new version Blogger is back in competition.

Web navigation systems have conceptually shifted from traditional forms of classification using fixed taxonomies to distributed classification schemes using flexible taxonomies (folksonomies), electronic publishing has become more and more individual and shows that the Internet is shifting to a medium that is genuinely more and more peer-to-peer structured with a decentralized authority.


The new version addresses current trends providing an AJAX style drag-and-drop layout manager which tremendously improves usability and makes it a lot easier for non-technical users to chose a new page element, to integrate new features and functionality into their blog and to change it even after publishing with a click of the mouse. I also think that the option of adding an element, including 3rd party JavaScript will make workarounds and funny 'Edit me' links in the side-bar obsolete.

With 3rd party JavaScript and a few clicks it's even possible now to turn a Blogger blog into a state-of-the art business model.
