Ewa wrote about politics. The thread was a record-breaking 12 posts, but unfortunately it was just the two of us. I wonder if any lurkers followed it, more expressed point of views could had taken it to even more interesting places, though we said a lot of stuff on basic freedoms and netcasted subway overhearing as art or politics, but mostly we talked about dog poo girls.

Another well-known net phenomenon is viral videos*; she posted this dance one, so I replied with that link in the thread:



To put it in a slightly overmetaphorical (beside stating an undercontroversial idea in a underoriginal) way, links and threads are what binds the web.

And what makes a blog a media in its own right is in part the possiblity of commenting, which I consider an integral part of it, like sound is integral to a telly. The replies and discussions of other people can make a post much more than what the original author wrote.

*Beside sites like ifilm, youtube, and videogoogle, you got video blogs like Video Wombat; here's four dance posts on it.
