France's mysterious embrace of blogs
Thomas Crampton tries to understand in International Herald Tribune why blogs are so mainstream in France:
"Already famed for angry labor strikes and philosophical debates in smoke-filled cafés, the French have now brought these passions online to become some of the world's most intensive bloggers. The French distinguish themselves, both statistically and anecdotally, ahead of Germans, Britons and even Americans in their obsession with blogs, the personal and public journals of the Internet age. Just why the French have embraced blogs more than most is anyone's guess, but explanations range from technical to historical and cultural."Thanks Thomas for quoting me.
