The Staying Power of Blogs
As we near the end of the year, where predictions run rampant, The Big Blog Company poined out this gem of a quote:
“Dissemination of information is great, but how much of it is
trustworthy? [Blogs] are an interesting phenomenon, but I don’t think
they will be as talked about in a year’s time.”
-Mike Smartt, editor of BBC News Online, 25 March, 2003
Nearly two years later, the BBC News Online is not only
calling out "blog" as the word of the year, but they're also
blogging. Blogs are just about the most talked about item
on the tech scene. So much so that TIME Magazine highly considered bloggers for their People of the Year. They're here to stay--like it or not.
