Talking Blog Talk
Last week's post about the key element of blogging—that is, its central place in the communication about big things with a planetary scope—is more and more on my mind. I visited the New Orleans Times-Picayune 
website to look over blogs about Hurricane Katrina and found a healthy list of local blogs carried by the paper. Many are dedicated to the stories of people whose lives were changed forever by the disaster.
Politics and ads cost a lot of money, but are strongly driven by the word of mouth between friends, relatives, neighbors and workers. This conversational, person-to-person society is not something anyone wants to ignore. 
Blogs as conversation is still in the, well, conversation stage at present. But whether they offer a community or are just another resource on the web, the info is there for all to see. And to comment on.
How about you? Are blogs a part of your day?
