The scribe tribe in cyberspace is a fledgling lot. Netizens have taken to blogging with a fervor that doesn't seem to abate. Anonymity has added a new dimension to musings that would have otherwise never seen the light of day. Subjects touch everything ranging from political insights to warped paedophilia yearnings, soulful inditements of the self to the Aricibo telescope. People may even write slanderous remarks about adversaries...and get away with it; something that is bound to escalate in the coming years.
While it's reassuring that commoners at last have a voice of their own, I am a tad sad that blogosphere is now being inundated with every Tom, Dick and Harry. That sheen of exclusivity is lost for good. I can't see the halo around my head!
BTW, mainstream journalism may take a beating in the years to come.
