Our relationships define us

The semantic web is about connections. We are defined by our relationships on different levels (with things, with people, with topics). Both offline and online we constantly enter and exit static and dynamic relationships, creating open systems of new or existing contexts, connections and meanings.

The beauty of this expanding interconnectedness is that we are its creators. We are the poets of networks, communities, hubs of shared values and interests.  It is in this poiesis of relationships that new threads emerge, forming new shapes, and enriching the environment with newly connected dots.

Fortunately, the web allows more and more for precisely these connections to be represented and considered within the context of our behaviour and interactions.

Adding Value and a Little Semantics To Marketing Communication on the Web

April 24, 2022 by Teodora Petkova

In this post I invite you to think about digital marketing communication as a way of communicating value, which in the interconnected cyberspace of the Web, inevitably demands taking good care of the machine-readable aspect of the message, carrying the framed value, that is of the data it is annotated with. On a conceptual level,Continue Weaving

Web Content Wants to Be Dialogic

February 24, 2022 by Teodora Petkova

There is a common thread connecting dialogic orientation and web writing. In this post I share how I discerned this thread so that we can use the newly found bond to adopt a dialogic approach to creating web content. To start, let’s first unsee web content. Unseeing Content This write-up is “content”. Formally, it isContinue Weaving

Our Private and Public Lives: An Allegory of Our Connection With Data

December 27, 2020 by Teodora Petkova

In 2015 sociologist and philosopher Zygmund Bauman gave a presentation called From Privacy to Publicity in which he talked about the importance of privacy and the concerns regarding the lack of it.

Welcome, fellow web explorer!

I am a philologist fascinated by the metamorphoses of text on the Web and curious about the ways the Semantic Web unfolds. I work as a content writer based in Sofia. For project inquiries or consulting, please email me at toshko.afrikanski@gmail.com. You can also
schedule time with me.

My Brave New Text

Being Dialogic (2022)

In Being Dialogic I explain why the key to successful content on the Web is being dialogic, sharing my PhD research and professional practice related to marketing communication on the Web and its dialogic orientation. The book aim is to allow for broader perspectives on the processes of creating web content which take into account the idea of marketing as managing knowledge and of content writing as creating digital object, enriched with metadata.

The Brave New Text (2017)

The Brave New Text  is a book about web writing and how it transforms the way we communicate, exchange, experience and explore thoughts, ideas, goods. It is a kaleidoscope of perspectives through which you will see texts on the web, as new forms of textuality, as webs themselves, as processes that change us, word by word, link by link.

The Brave New Text consists of essays on writing for the Semantic Web as well as practical tips for creating connected and connecting texts.

The book’s website is The Brave New Text  and it features excerpts from the book together with thoughts and advice on web writing to help you weave your own web of words on the Web of People. Use it for inspiration, guidance and practical advice.

My Tiny Companion to Weaving Texts on the Web

This is a Web Writing guide to help you pave your own road to approaching web writing and making the best of it as a tool for growth, connections and more business.
