A fragment of an essay I jotted down a week or two ago.
Bloggin'
A revolution, if you ask me.
Revolution is overused when connected to the Internet, I know. But the Internet has revolutionized our culture in profound ways. Everyone sends e-mail, everyone visits one Web site or another. We might not be producing millionares by the minute anymore, but people still integrate the net into their lives.
So, even if it's unfashionable to call blogs revolutionary, they are.
Journals everyone can read. That's a basic summation. But it's more. It's a universal format, better than the scattershot personal Web pages of the mid- to late-90s.
