Webzine 2005

FRIDAY AUGUST 26 2005 12:17 PM

Submitted by susannah_breslin. Edited By susannah_breslin.

Webzine 2005 takes place next month in San Francisco at the Swedish American Hall from September 24th through the 25th. The event was created to bring together people working in the realm of independent publishing on the web. Event emcees are Justin Hall and Annalee Newitz, panel subjects range from podcasting to vlogging, and a two-day weekend pass is $20.

Isn’t webzine just another term for blog, relegated to the dustbin of Internet history?

Ah cynical reader. Sure, blogs are a form of webzine but they are but just one example. A strict definition could be that a webzine is an online magazine, periodically produced and somewhat edited with roots in ‘zine culture. Many webzines started out as print ‘zines, themselves birthed in the bowels of the local Kinko’s copy shop. A broader definition, one we’ve always embraced for our conference, is any expression of independent online artistic content. Self-published online newspapers, diaries, photo logs, parody sites, culture jammers, hacktivists, recipe sites, gardening tips, remote hunting sites are all fair game. The idea is to highlight amazing examples of creativity that somehow involves the Internet or networked technologies.
