"Innovation in personal blogging might be drawn from three angles: form, function and content creation.

Innovation in blogging forms could include creative uses of technology and complementary web services to provide context and richness to a narrative.

Innovation in function could include using blogs to devise new ways of telling stories, documenting experiences and communicating.

Innovation in content creation might include new blogging voices, styles or situations being explored and exposed through the blogging medium."
