The Vblogs: Towards a New Generation of Blogs
This article is part of a scientific research on the Web evolution, more precisely recent collaborative Web 2.0. It aims at suggesting an improvement of the blog, which is one of the two unique tools of publishing information at the level of Web 2.0, by trying to overcome the major problems that concern information quality, over-information and, finally, copyright management. In this context, we set the goal of answering the questions: who publishes what, when, where and what is the relevance degree of this information by adding the concept of content validation. To target this goal, we will establish a committee for blog's validation, which will be in charge of validating the information generated by users, in addition to another committee of monitoring publications on the blog, which will have as task: following the process of publication since the information creation to its deletion or final archiving. Information will not be published directly by a user on the blog but pre-published, submitted to validation in a non-official part of the website. Such ameliorations will make available to Internet users a new category of high quality information, validated and well-managed.
