Blogging comes of age

I sneared at Time's "person of the year" publicity that essentially named the blogging culture as the person of the year. There's a lot of hype right now that bloggers have an increasing amount influence and are becoming a powerful media of their own.

But following Scoble's coverage of the Edwards campaign, and in particular this example that Scoble points to at Jake Ludington's blog, puts me in awe of the common person's ability now to capture the content and make it available to millions.
