Blogs
Blogs merged the Web, the diary and the discussion
board, making the personal narrative into a collaboration. Warblogs
have bloomed, expanding so rapidly at the moment of war that servers
crashed from the demand. Vigorous argument, analysis, up-to-the-second
information and reactions are all on display, with little of the
narcissism that once marked blogs. These are non-institutional,
volunteer sites; private individuals sometimes beg for donations
to pay for the connection fees. Bloggers are also media mavens,
and the cross-linking to mainstream media is extensive.
