I have now been a blogger for six hours. Not so hard but lots to consider. Still a long way from DOS based dial-up discussion forums.
Picked up The Rough Guide to Blogging by Jonathan Yang at Chapters today. It's a very good intro for the novice blogger like me, a boomer, rusty geek, scrambling to catch up.
Google and Amazon have lots of tools. Its about connecting to like-minded people and forming virtual communities in multi-dimentional ways. Tres cool.
Could revolutionize community activism and political awareness. Who can disagree that our systems of government are out of touch with the people , perhaps governments like it that way. Be nice to get their attention again. Blogging can be a clotting agent for popular opinion. I like it already.
