Great post. I've seen a few people compare Ben. Anderson's model of "imagined communities" to the emergence of blogworlds, and I think it's pretty apt.
And I'd have to say that even with a few dominant blogs that have come to represent blogging to non-bloggers, the real activity is taking place "below the radar," where all of us are writing, thinking, and linking.
This is great, and if fucking blogger were working, I'd edit my latest post to link to this.
Maybe tomorrow.
Wonderful post. I wholeheartedly agree. Blogs do have the power to change the nature of shared discourse, and, in fact, there are actually lots of women political bloggers--Body and Soul, Dynamist, Making Light, Respectful of Otters, the Sideshow, Talk Left, and Wonkette immediately come to mind--and lots of people are reading them.
