Jon Udell shares his thinking behind the importance of weblogs to a publication like InfoWorld.
The blog network is a kind of engine for processing all of these agendas. Think about how science is driven by publication and citation indexing. Blogs, and the aggregators that track them, make publication and citation indexing a realtime 24×7 process. The blog universe is a literal marketplace of ideas, an economy whose currency is the hyperlink.
Amen!
