Is it just me or are blogs this huge phenomenon that sprang up suddenly, and for some strange reason skyrocketed in popularity overnight. I know there have always been message boards, newsgroups, forums, etc. It's just that blogs are so much more a personal thing than anything else. It really makes me wonder what new forms of communication will come up in the future. The internet is such a powerful tool that it almost scares me to see where we are going.

What are your thoughts on blogs?
