Links: blogs are useless, but hacktivism is cool

An article on the Register about the proliferation of blogs, and an excellent (if badly spelled) Wired article about Hacktivism and the Cult of the Dead Cow.

With 8000 new bloggers every day, and almost half of the blogs out there being idle for the last three months, what does that say about blogging as a "phenomenon"? I know that I've started about three or four blogs myself - this current one being the most successful attempt so far. I suppose time will tell?

The Cult of the Dead Cow recently turned 20 years old, and have managed to turn themselves from a l33t bunch of hax0rs who churn out scriptkiddie tools into a well-respected grass-roots activism organisation. Restecp:
