Trying to understand blogs

The Guardian has an interesting article about what this blogging nonsense is all about.

Not sure about the pie-chart, though...I don't often write about Iraq, P-Chan only gets the occasional mention, my rantings are clearly far from incoherent :-), and as for getting laid, that area is fine as well, thank you very much.

Extract:

Bloggers enjoy describing themselves as pioneers, though their ideas of innovation are sometimes suspect. "We are writing ourselves into existence," some ecstatically proclaim, as if Pepys and Boswell and the historic legions of their fellow journal-writers had never existed. o weblogs, nor even to the Internet. ..A weblog is something fundamentally new. Something no one can quite put their finger on, not yet. And those who try to define the phenomenon in terms of current institutions are completely missing the point.
