I never cease to be amazed at how self-important people who do the blog thing can be. There's a lot of recycled dotcom.bubble excitement they throw around about how it's the future of media and discourse and blah blah blah; to me it really tends to look like all noise and no content.
Case in point: this little essay on how oh so cool a permanant link top a particular entry in the archives is. Geez. It's just a rather obvious enhancement of functionality that kinda comes along free when you move from a naïve add-text-at-the-top-of-the-page-and-cut-old-ones-out mechanism to actually keeping the entries in a database as unique entries.
This sort of self-involved pomposity is why I don't like to go surfing the 'blogosphere' - or whatever atrocity of a coined verb surely involving some form of the word 'blog' is appropriate. So much empty masturbating over how important they are.
