October 7, 2003 By Will Richardson

Just a couple more early morning reflections and thoughts on this weekend…

Driving back into school this morning it occurred to me that there’s really no one who I can tell about this weekend that won’t look at me with a blank and confused stare. I “read” about 100 Web logs a day, and much of my waking hours are spent thinking and writing about what they are and how they work and how to use them. But very few around here have more than a passing knowledge of what they are, and even fewer can get to a conversation about theory and practice. After spending two very stimulating days with 140 people who eat, sleep, and breathe Web logs, that feeling of being “out there” is even more acute.

And one thing that has really stuck in my brain from this weekend was from Adam Curry and was pretty much unrelated to Web logs. During a conversation about the impact of the blogosphere, he reminded everyone that there is a United States of Europe in the making, that soon there will be more people with a single currency in Europe than there will be in America, and that the implications of that are huge, for blogging and everything else. Talk about changing your world view…
