blogging enters adolescence
As I expand the number of web logs, blogs and other online journals I
read a common thread seems to be forming. The people who have been
doing it for years are now dealing with the reality of what happens when
something hits the mainstream – you start to attract attention from
people who do not share your concern about or for the issue. They
either want to use it as yet another cool-thing-to-do or they want to
abuse it because it is drawing plenty of attention.
Maybe it is a sign of my age but I’ve seen this happen before with
usenet, bbs’, irc, …
Like the others, blogging will survive the akward stages and mature.
Much to the dismay of the early adopters.
