Blogging vs. IRC (Score:2)

by ziggy (25) on 2002.04.17 9:28 (#7165) Journal

These same arguments came out about a decade ago, talking about IRC. Once on some channel somewhere there was a Croatian who was able to discuss in real time what the Serbs were doing in his hometown, and do it unfiltered on IRC.
That makes IRC a set of news networks in the same way that blogs make bloggers journalists. We'll likely see the same tired argument resurface in a few years when another person-to-person medium of communication (broadcasting SMS?) becomes popular.
