Write, darn, write!

As part of the phenomenon described by Anne Trubek in 'We are all Writers Now', I cannot help but agree with Anne that we are really doing so much more writing than we were years ago. I used to have really long phone chats with friends but they are now all replaced by long email correspondence if not 5-hour MSN chats interwoven with meals, occasional restroom breaks and possibly a trip to downstairs to get something for Mum. More importantly, I'm blogging more actively, and have more friends with blogs. I still remember the time when blogging was a relatively new phenomena amongst teens around the 2000s; for me, I was introduced to it only in 2002. Blogger was newly emerging and free blogs providers were all but common.

Another good read on More Intelligent Life related to writing and blogging includes 'Shakespeare would have had a blog' about innovations in lingo brought about by the aforementioned writing trend. There an article on 'Age of Mass Intelligence' that might also interest you too. More Intelligent Life functions as a blog sort of online publication with articles linked to each other via hypertext of their content, making it really a great place to explore a series of related articles.
