history of blogging meets this blog
Chuck Olsen, a filmographer known for his documentaries on blogs, just posted a "History of Blogs" movie (.mov). The short piece talks about the history of blogging most of us know about (Blogger, LiveJournal) ... but then steps back into time to people just like the bloggers in this little corner of the net.
The original bloggers weren't bloggers because they had a computer a Blogger account. They were bloggers in spirit because they had something to say & a desire to communicate their ideas:
"Our very democracy was founded upon personal political writing intended to inform, motivate and bring like-minded people together to act. But somewhere along the line, mass media took over for the voice of the people."
And so today, with the other several million bloggers out there - we take our voices back. In this blog we discuss a topic important to us - minority issues - because we feel there is still room to have our voices heard.
