The atoms of weblogs
Anil Dash's post is actually titled posts are the atomic element of weblogs.
I see weblogs as a soup of posts. That soup responds to queries. The default query (the URI of the blog top level) is a reverse chronological dump of some number of entries. But there are other queries: queries for a specific date, queries for a specific week or range of dates. Queries by category and text words. Queries over comment/trackbacks. Okay, can you tell I did grad school in databases?
A weblog is just a public view on a section of my personal information store, which includes factual and opinion items (posts).
