Joi's blogsitter and Xeni find it notable that some Paris rioters have blogs.
This brings to mind again Douglas Adams' wise words from 1999:
I don’t think anybody would argue now that the Internet isn’t becoming a major factor in our lives. However, it’s very new to us. Newsreaders still feel it is worth a special and rather worrying mention if, for instance, a crime was planned by people ‘over the Internet.’ They don’t bother to mention when criminals use the telephone or the M4, or discuss their dastardly plans ‘over a cup of tea,’ though each of these was new and controversial in their day.
Read the whole thing, annually.
