weblogs & sharks

2006-02-21 18:10:47.294167+01 by Dan Lyke 0 comments

I saw Wes Felter's takedown of William Safire's relatively unresearched ramble on weblog jargon, and ignored it because, hey, who really expects accuracy from mainstream journalists anyway, right? But John had some further unkind comments about the piece, and asked:

The other aspect of this is that if Safire is talking about weblogs, we’re at the point where the carcass is being dug up and tossed over the shark — so where’s the next thing?

Uhh.. cue me in when you find it, hey? And one of the reasons I'm looking at various alternative web technologies even though that stuff is completely antithetical to my primary focus (3d software in C++) right now is that I'm hoping that I'll see the new forms evolve from that playing.
