More discussion of what defines a weblog, and the following definition is proposed: "A weblog is a collection of discrete entries that are organized sequentially in time and published to the World Wide Web." As I comment in the discussion, "I think that the linear presentation (no threading) and reverse chronological order are essential features." And I completely agree with this: "a brief list of things that do not define weblogs: titles, time stamps, permalinks, archives, categories, calendars, RSS feeds, Trackback, pings, etc. etc. (basically the last 3/4 of Winer's essay). Those are features of the tools we use to write weblogs..." Exactly.
