Are Blogs The Medium Of The Future?
By: Andy Beal
Doing anything for the next 15 mins? That's how long you'll need to read the Financial Times article on the rise of blogging as a publishing medium and challenger to print.
You may want to wait to read it for when you're wide awake and have your wits about you. Dem der FT jernolists use a lot of mighty fancy words. ;-)
But as with any revolution, we must ask whether we are being sold a naked emperor. Is blogging really an information revolution? Is it about to drive the mainstream news media into oblivion? Or is it just another crock of virtual gold - a meretricious equivalent of all those noisy internet start-ups that were going to build a brave "new economy" a few years ago?
