memerists

Another week full of resolutions and revolutions I'm sure! Abrupto directs my attention to a very interesting article in the Financial Times on Blogs and blogging. It's big media perspective and well written. It's importance in the countries of media censorship is I think underplayed. It's good read. It mentions Marx, Orwell and Swift in one article. Any medium that contributes to that can't be all bad....
And what do these three writers have in common besides being geat craftmen. Why, they were memerists par exellence, and their memes have changed the way we look at ourselves and the world forever.
