Plus, I think a big shortcoming in the Guardian's Comment is Free is that they have not allowed for trackbacks. All of what you say.

Some are excellent in analysis and done by people who are so much better informed than many hack print media journos. Whats more, spineless politicians are starting to take note and waking up to bloggers - obviously one follows the blogs that one agrees with - making comments is not necessarily an egotistic pursuit but many times it attracts informative responses from other commentators and bloggers themselves. i don’t know about the UK blogosphere – only follow a few but in north america the blogospere is very diverse and vibrant……..the mainstream media in the US and Canada hardly covers unwelcome news beyond the spin of official talking point handouts.

What amused me about the hilarious <a href="http://www.robertsharp.co.uk/2006/03/14/little-guys/#comment-347">comment</a> you mentioned over at my site, was that there was barely time to compose a witty and crushing demolition, before about three other people came to my rescue.

Thing is, I'm not convinced that it's always the way to deal with the world. thehighrise, for example, is only a blog insofar as I use a weblogging tool; and I use that purely because it's more convenient than messing around with FTP software.

I've written something for Comment is free along the same lines... though to me the issue isn't what a blog is, but rather the nature of the beast and whether the medium is being over-hyped to 'change the world'. I don't know if they'll publish it, but I wish I could re-edit it to link this post as well. I will mention it in the comments section though. Good piece mate.
