The NYT has done quite a few stories on blogging, but, I suspect, they don’t quite get it. Most media are looking for an angle — and they’re looking at the profit side, publicity side, or the Fight The Power side. They don’t seem, yet, to get the idea of community building. Blogs are just another step in this direction. People like community — and they like it in their own time.

I remember reading article(s) a few years about about mothers who post to newsgroups or forums when they’re up with their babies in the middle of the night. Yeah, you need to share with other people who are dealing with colic (would that the mother had this kind of resource…she would have realized I’m normal!

Blogs are so many things, and finding a story is hard. I wish the NYT would put forth the effort to get it. But then again, it’s kind of cool knowing this world is developing on its own. It lets us define our own structure.
