I think Weblogs have gone beyond the CB story.  There are too many smart people doing this.  This is more like personal publishing on the PC than random conversations by truckers on the highway.  Only, this is personal publishing for the Web. People that weblog dominate their chosen topic areas.  They are smart and write extremely well.  Here is a very small sample: http://buzz.weblogs.com/ (Buzz owns the topic of new media PR) http://80211b.weblogger.com/  (Glenn dominates the discussion of this widespread wireless tech) http://radio.weblogs.com/0001014/  (Adam Curry from MTV fame is working on innovations on new media topics he is going to implement) http://www.theshiftedlibrarian.com/  (Jenny covers new tech for librarians) http://www.lextext.com/icann/  (Bret owns reporting having to do with ICANN -- the Internet naming authority) http://segway.weblogs.com/  (Paul Nakada is the source -- according to the NYT -- on topics related to Segway, the new human transporter) http://radio.weblogs.com/0103924/ (Dave is staking a claim to MS Front Page topics) http://www.carlsoncarlson.com/dane/  (Dane is an all around good source) http://radio.weblogs.com/0100243/  (Mary has been providing first hand accounts of the skating  -- and scandals -- at the Olympics) http://www.scripting.com (Dave, is the source for views and news on software) http://radio.weblogs.com/0100676/  (Ken, an Apple VP, is covering OS X news and insider topics) Weblogs are just starting to take hold.  My view is that this is just great publishing technology working its magic.  It has unleashed creativity just like a personal printer or word processor did 20 years ago -- except this is for the Web.   We supply superior publishing software, our customers supply the creativity. 6:15:40 AM    Comment_ Trackback []
