It's all crap, it's all about obsession with celebrity, it's about trying or pretending to be important but, we don't give a damn about what you write.<BR/><BR/>This fashion will end soon, the "blogosphere" will collapse. Blogs as a means for collaborative work will survive. Blogs from people trying to influence others or to emulate a broadcaster will not. We didn't dump the telly to now get "informed" by self-centered wannabes. Internet is ruled by horizontallity, and these blogs are just a vain attempt to emulate the obsolete vertical uni-directional paradigm. The fact that you can add comments means little.<BR/><BR/>We don't give a damn about your self-centered power hungry blog addictionAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6214838.post-47819512791470519322007-03-29T23:41:00.000+01:002007-03-29T23:41:00.000+01:00Anonymous said...
