Blogging turns 10 years old and there's an article in the Wall Street Journal today that has twelve commentators — including Tom Wolfe, Newt Gingrich, the SEC's Christopher Cox and actress-turned-blogger Mia Farrow.
Here are some of the main points of the Happy Blogiversary post:
- Most people under 40 read at least one or two blogs a day
- Press, Mainstream Media (called the Fourth Estate) and the Government have become uncomfortably close and people are reading Blogs to get real news (because they don't get it as much from MSM anymore).
Most of the article the opinions, and video footage, from Cory Doctorow and David Pescovitz: BoingBoing.net, Harold Evans, Editor at large, the Week, Dennis Yang: TechDirt, Christopher Cox, Chairman, Securities and Exchange Commission, Scott Karp: Publishing 2.0, Mia Farrow, Keso, DoNews.com, James Taranto from Opinionjournal.com, Jane Hamsher from firedoglake, General Kevin Bergner, Newt Gingrich, Dick Costolo, who used to be CEO of FeedBurner, and now Group Product Manager at Google , Xiao Qiang, founder and editor of the China Digital Times, and Tom Wolfe, a well known Novelist.
Found out about the the "tenth" anniversary of blogging from Federated Media.
