What blogging has allowed people to do is to publish content quickly and easily without technology or jargon getting in the way. So many web sites are just expensive brochureware, not being updated regulalry, companies not identifying the needs/motvations of their users and not offering any valuable content.

Remove the technology and let people publish freely, as easily as it is to write and save a document on your own hard drive. Perhaps there is still a chasm that exists conceptually between what is local and what is on a remote machine for people? Does it really matter?

Thanks for letting me be part of the discussion John:)
