The Future of Bloggery

As a useful corrective to the optimism of bloggy zealots [that's right, I'm talkin' to you -- you know who you are] read Jack Shafer's Blog Overkill article in the current edition of Slate. He, like I, has seen too many "waves of the future" swell and recede to take the more extravagent pretensions of the bloggerati seriously. He also includes lots of links to other commentary that will give you a good idea of the dimensions of the discourse. Read it here.
