But isn't this pretty much how the world outside blogs work? When the New
York Times publishes a story, pretty much every newspaper and TV news room
in the U.S. takes notice of it and many cover it. I'm not sure the velocity
of minority opinion dissemination via blogs is so fundamentally different
than in other media. I think it's more 'visible' because it's more easily
measurable.
