People News. BloggerCon: Some things are trends and some things are true innovations. Although many people will enter the world of blogging as a trend or fad, the engine developed to make blogging convenient is definitely an innovation. Every-man-journalists and daily entries of niche news will impact civilization for years to come. Wired Magazine recently covered the BloggerCon - a two-day "unconference" on the art and science of blogs.
As reported, "What the web's most influential voices talked about, mostly, was getting the tools of their trade into the hands of even more people. Mark Glaser, of PBS' MediaShift, praised blogs' democratization of ideas, pointing out that bloggers can catapult concepts into the mainstream media spotlight at lightning speed. 'It's an easy way for one person or a group to share their ideas, supporting and linking to each other,' Glaser said. 'Even if they're a small blog with 10 readers, they can get linked to' by others and end up cited in The New York Times."
