internet - Are weblogs going to change the future?

Joe Trippi thinks so. After being sacked as the campaign manager of Howard Dean, the Democratic candidate who is not going to make it, Trippi is again up and running on his new weblog. Last Monday he talked for the faithfull - not the ones that believe in Dean, but those who believe in the internet - and I found this talk sensational. How this might work out in other parts of the world like China is still a very open questions, and exciting to explore. Google is going to offer also their ads for blogs in Chinese, so that might encourage the weblogs in China a bit, although I wonder how payments will work out on a partical level.
In Rebecca MacKinnon of CNN I have found a colleague who has rightfully also catched the blog-fever. She focuses on North Korea.

(I just added the Google ads myself: piece of cake!; please visit my sponsors :-))
