What We’re Doing When We Blog

Meg has an article on O’Reilly today about What We’re Doing When We Blog. It’s a look at how the format makes possible the type of interaction we see when people use weblogs, regardless of what the weblog is about. The last line of the article is a great one: “As with free speech itself, what we say isn’t as important as the system that enables us to say it.” I don’t know if I completely agree with that, but it’s an interesting perspective.
