I was reluctant to start this blog for a number of reasons. Serendipitously, a witty op-art artist helped me explain one reason why in today's New York Times...
Seriously, though, are those of us who love technology and its potential to democratize the world (yes, I count myself as one of them... but still...) taking ourselves a bit too seriously? Are blogs in danger of becoming the next bastion of elitism, with a handful that are "names" read by many but most ignored? Do people really take the time and read others' blogs or have they become another vestige of a narcissistic culture in which we all bloviate what we think just because we love to hear our own voices?

Funny but blogs are the tool of the elite and the everyday person. Every kid with a myspace page has a blog. Grandparents have blogs. Really smart people with good ideas that would never have been heard before now have a stage on which to stand. If a person has a tendency to take themselves too seriously that will come across regardless of what medium is used - newspaper, TV, journals.
