[...] Adam Maguire jumps into the discussion about blogging and mainstream media and how blogging will replace traditional media. He makes a few statements that I thought I’d address. It can’t help but concern me that the only thing bloggers really get going over is blogs; of course a multitude of issues are discussed across the community every day but none of them see the scale of interest that an issue of blogging does. The ‘conversational’ aspect of our media seems to be saved for incestuous discussions on ourselves. [...]

I entered the comment from Ed’s laptop, not realising that it would have his info stored in his cache. Edited it on mine later when I saw his name come up in my RSS.

[...] Damien Mulley rightly points out the reason why Irish bloggers have gotten so upset over the fact that it@Cork received a cease and desist letter over the use of the phrase ‘Web 2.0′ in the title of an upcoming conference is due to the fact , “Irish bloggers couldn’t give a toss about web 2.0 but they would give a toss if one of us was sued for some stupid reason.” Annette Clancy adds in the comments section of my post about the subject, “What else would bloggers do apart from talk/write about stuff?“ [...]

Just going back to your point about National Spay Week and Tom’s Baby. Some people would have a different opinion and care about National Spay Week and not about the fact that Tom’s wife is after having a child.
