Project Paul writes about Weblog Dynamics: "Juha Haataja wrote in his weblog of his concern that weblogs and aggregators narrow readers' focus, and could have a dangerous impact on the flow of information. He focused then on a possible solution, but I left him a comment challenging him to consider his premise. I stumbled across it again today, and actually kinda liked what I said, so I'm pulling it down here, for posterity."

Nice to be reminded of something which was written several months ago. I wrote then an essay titled Weblogs on the Borderline.
