Three Coasts

Six years ago, I wrote text for an interactive exhibit at the St. Louis Science Center called Cyberville. Through research on that project, I became acquainted with the blog world in its infancy. Back then, it seemed that only techies who knew html and Web infrastructure were blogging; writers like me hadn't discovered them. I suspected then that blogs would grow into the mainstream eventually because the Web had not yet lived up to its full potential for people to communicate freely and widely. But I could not have predicted how widely and freely people would communicate, using blogs as the format. It's mindboggling, or should I say mindblogging (new term: mindblogging: adj, astounded by the sheer number of blogs on the Web) to wade through the blog multitudes. I don't know how you got to this one, but thanks for reading.
