8) The "microcontent" revolution

Blogs within the greater blogosphere are said to be introducing the “microcontent” (or “nanocontent”) age of the Internet (Paquet, 2002) where bloggers with little or no programming experience can now post frequent, brief, and timely commentary on their own websites, usually with many editorialized links pointing to information of interest throughout the Internet and, most notably, to other blogs.
