On "Relections on the first decade of blogging"

http://blogs.zdnet.com/BTL/?p=4541
Blogs, I believe, are hit and miss. And it's especially difficult that we should put so much faith into a person's specific tale when we can't even tell whether they're speaking truth or just making things up as they go along. It's unfortunate really, but so goes the internet. I don't think we will ever be able to completely put faith into blogs, just as it's difficult for people to place faith in the media. There's no denying that blogs offer the ability for a thousand million perspectives to be told, endless stories and "truths" to be revealed, but it is not possible for these writings to recieve end-all faith from any intelligent reader.
