The explosion du jour
Julio Daio Borges
Living in the Blog-osphere, matéria da Newsweek desta semana:
"With a new blogger joining the crowd every 40 seconds, Weblogs are officially the explosion du jour on the Net. Most estimates peg the current number at a half a million Weblogs, depending on how you define the term, but 'my suspicion is that there are even more,' says Cameron Marlow, an MIT graduate student who's studying the phenomenon.
"Blogging is a social phenomenon, and the Blog-osphere self-organizes into clusters of the like-minded. Within one of those clusters, the small-scale drama of a life, the incisiveness of one's film criticism or the knowledge one imparts about esoteric telcom regulations can foment a weird kind of microcelebrity. 'In the future, everyone will be famous to 15 people on the Web,' says David Weinberger, author of 'Small Pieces Loosely Joined,' an incisive book about the Net."
