A number of blogs have been linking to Laura's reflection on how blogging has changed in the past six years . I don't think there has actually been much decline in quality overall -- when it declines in one part it improves in another. But certainly a lot of things have shifted. I think Laura's probably right that people have localized -- blogger used to range far more widely, but now mostly stick...

The debate over Waxman-Markey reminds me of what I love most about blogging. No, it’s not what you think, it’s not the chance to be snarky. I don’t need the blogosphere for that. No, what I like about the blogosphere is that it ultimately drives a precision in language and a clarity of thought because it is [...]

Cross-posted from Infantile and Disorderly When I agreed to the Carnival of Socialism, I wasn’t thinking clearly.
