The social consequences of blogging
Warren St John's piece is out, in the New York Times. I've been waiting for a definitive article on the theme, the social implications of blogging. It's an age-old question: what would the world be like if we could each look into the other's soul? St John's piece is fine, mentions the blog-squabble after Rick Bruner posted about a friend, but it's short. I was expecting an epic. Oh, and, by the way, I did not say of course that there were 3m active weblogs. Rather than there were 3m weblog accounts, if you added Blogger, LiveJournal and the other systems, but all but 20% of them inactive.
