BBC Technology runs a comment piece by Internet law professor, Michael Geist,
"The remarkable growth of the blogosphere is enough to convince even the most die-hard sceptic that something important is afoot. Technorati, a blog search engine, reports that it tracks 75,000 new blogs each day.
Collaborative news sites, staffed by volunteer citizen journalists, have also grown in popularity. OhmyNews, a South Korean news site that publishes exclusively user-generated stories in both Korean and English, has developed into one of that country's leading news sources.
From a media perspective, the emergence of citizen journalism has blurred the line separating mainstream media from online new media."
We're all part of the same game now. Blurred lines are sOHH 2005. Bloggers will be journalists and journalists will be bloggers. It's all about the method of delivery. Now we can all deliver. No more cutting up magazines, typewriters, pots of glue and photocopier bills.
