Le Blog est Magnifique!

Arriana Huffington has a fascinating article on the way the French have embraced blogging here. Some exerpts:

"In the same way that water finds its own level, modes of communication find their own communities (mon dieu, I sound almost French!). "

"For the French, blogging hasn’t so much been a revolution as an extension of what they've been doing for centuries."

"And while blogs are very big among French youth (as is the case in America), they have also been embraced by the older generation. Style, whether sartorial or technological, has no age limit in France. Take former Prime Minister Alain Juppé’s blog . . . . Juppé’s latest entry is entitled, yes, "JO...Tristesse." Though it sounds like that could be the title of a French blog every single day, in this particular entry he waxes melancholy about losing the Olympics to London."
