“Peggy Noonan on Weblogs: Out-of-the-Park Home Run”

Yesterday I was told that a close friend thinks "it's creepy to be on the internet," and that "blogs are creepy."

Yes, fine, sure, there are lots of people that still don't get it. There are also lots of people at another point along the wheel who almost understand weblogs but are running scared. Much of the mainstream media fits that category: they're constantly attacking "blogs" and "bloggers" (oh how I hate those words!), but it always comes down to the same thing: they're scared.

Peggy Noonon wrote an opinion piece in the Wall Street Journal that sums up weblogs brilliantly. She'll tell you why they're important, and what they mean. She doesn't cover every detail, nor every angle: I said it was perfect, not exhaustive.

Go, read and be inspired.
