I'd say the future looks very bright for blogs in general and those with a unique voice in particular 106603@blogcritics.org Mon, 3 Jan 2005 16:03:36 EST http://blogcritics.org/archives/2005/01/03/134216.php#comment-106596 Eric - nice to see you back on the scene and in top form. I first heard the term "blog" when I was a producer for TechTV back in '01. I assumed it was yet another far beyond-techie term until I figured out that its meaning is actually very ordinary... yet with extraordinary consequences. Since then, I must have explained what blogs are to several dozen people. I assume the same is going on right now around the globe. Blogs will continue to ride the wave of a mass online presence (many now "savvy") and the urge to communicate in a globalized media/culture/news/content rich world. If no one else will say it, I will: blogs kick ass.
