In my small neck of the woods I like to write about development technologies and any wild ideas that come across my mind. With that being said, it's truly amazing how many specialized blogs exist on the web. I think the last number I heard was that about 40,000 new blog sites go up in a single day. I think about all the RSS feeds I subscribe to and how all of them have very specialized content. The web is changing and more people are becoming empowered to "participate" in this once "read-only" web.
Jamie's PolkaDachs site has been getting an increasing amount of traffic and I was blown away by the fact that a blog site called Mommies with Style wanted to write about her products. You can find the post here:

This isn't only a shameless plug, but also serves to represent a point. The point being that in the mid 90's I was using notepad and a program called WS_FTP Pro to upload my content to the web. Oh how the times are changing and no longer are just techies participating in creating the web's content. I think these are really exciting times for everyone involved and now if I can only get all my friends and family to start blogging.
