I’ve a rule with this blogging/webbing malarkey: print nothing out, save none of it. My blog is a cyberspace trash can. (Why bother to fill it I don’t hear you ask.) Well it takes up no space and I want to be part of the party, of the now if not here. There are more than 100 million blogs worldwide. There are more than 40 million members of Facebook (I think God has an account), then there’s MySpace and YouTube (or is it Utube) and WotNext. Geer Lovink of the Blog Herald sees this as ‘part of an unfolding process of massification of the internet’. Who’d want to be left out of that.

‘What you put in your head is there forever’ says Cormac McCarthy somewhere in The Road. What you put on the airwaves is there forever, until the signals fail. Strange to arrive at nowhere in a search for communication: mind you love can seem a dead end place and blogging can feel cosy when measured against life.
