Getting Started

In 1977 Orson Scott Card published a novel in which society's discourse took place on the 'nets,' where sometimes anonymous people wrote their opinions of the day. Some graduated to larger audiences as their writings became more popular. Leaders were chosen from the most popular writers and thinkers of the day.

It would appear the 27 year old side plot of Ender's Game is at the infancy of becoming reality. Weblogs are fast becoming the place where information is discussed first.

Shall we find our next great thinkers here?
How will society be served by this form?

We shall see.
