An article entitled Blogging, the nihilist impulse.

Media theorist and Internet activist Geert Lovink formulates a theory of weblogs that goes beyond the usual rhetoric of citizens’ journalism. Blogs lead to decay, he writes. What’s declining is the “Belief in the Message”. Instead of presenting blog entries as mere self-promotion, we should interpret them as decadent artefacts that remotely dismantle the broadcast model.

This article has got so many sentences like this I couldn’t not link to it:

The last sentence is (sorry for spoiling it:)

Doesn’t the truthness lie in the unlinkable?

What a question. What a load of cock. (via.)
