Am reading Thomas Friedman's book The World Is Flat. It's a treasure trove of revelations. Like the 10 forces that flattened the world; just mind boggling. Freidman landscapes the present and future scenarios and not surprisingly, mentions blogging as a flattener.
Well, in case you're wondering what's a flattener, it's a phenomenon or event that greatly levels the global playing field. Think Berlin Wall, World Wide Web, Uploading, You Tube, Self Publishing, Outsourcing.
As with Chris Anderson's book The Long Tail, The World Is Flat is akin to looking at a crystal ball and envisaging what the future holds.
Apologies for the dramatics, but I strongly feel that it's a worthy read.
