I think the article in the Union Tribune last week (A penny for your blogs) is fairly nicely put together. It manages to de-hype while still getting at some of the promise of the medium. I recently talked to a journalist and predicted that we would know that blogging had hit the turning point when we saw the following headlines: “Blogging addiction strikes teens” and “Child bloggers the target of pedophiles.” And, of course, when folks start to talk of the Satanic influence of blogging, and the immoral ideas that it spreads. These are the hallmarks of a maturing technology–and we will probably have to wait until AOL and Microsoft join the party to see them.
