Blogging is supposed to be a new cultural revolution. Well, maybe that is hyperbole, but nevertheless, blogging is part of the digital revolution and that larger concept has had a potent impact on our culture. It allows the arm-chair pundit (or five-star general, newspaper commentator, quarterback, etc.) to have their say and have that message disseminated to anyone with access to a computer. It gives a theater to myriad points of view, whether or not anyone else want to sit and enjoy the show.

Blogging is about telling your story. It allows the 14 year old girl with a love for Hello Kitty to tell the world about it. It allows the 41 year old man with a fetish for Hello Kitty to tell of his particular fascination.
