BLOG RAGE (by Steve Nadis)
By now, we've all heard more than we can stomach about road rage. Blog rage, I predict, will be the next fad. A large number of bloggers, it seems, are seething with anger, which can pour out at the slightest provocation. This became evident last January, when Harvard hosted a blogging and journalism conference, to which only a select number of bloggers were invited. Those who were left out of the proceedings expressed their dismay in vitriolic terms, to say the least. And the controversy--over nothing, really, when you get right down to it--raged on, by means of dyspeptic comments, long after the event was over. "Why are so many bloggers angry?" asked my editor--the one editing my article on blogging, in fact. The answer is simple: There are 8 million bloggers (and by now that number may be 9 million or 10 million, but let's stick with 8 million for the sake of argument), and no one gives a damn about 7.999 million of them. That makes for a lot of people whose stuff is not being read, and they're mad as hell about it. These people don't get invited on Charlie Rose or to elite conferences at Harvard, and they're mad as hell about that too. Why aren't they being read? The answer again is simple: It's a lot easier to write a pile of crap and post it on the internet than it is to read someone else's pile of crap posted on the internet. This I believe.
