Nick Denton of Gawker Media was in The Observer the other weekend being billed as the godfather of blogging and sharing his insights into blogs. He had some interesting things to say.
One point was so simple. He explained that ordinary people used to just look at the web but now with blogs they can participate. And that changes everything. Ordinary people are in there blogging, sharing photos, videos, contact numbers, work projects. They are no longer passive consumers. They have more power and they seem to be enjoying themselves!
