Blogging confuses Britain

Australian IT - Blogging confuses Britain:

"PROPONENTS of the latest web trends were have been warned that the rest of the world may not have a clue what they are talking about."

Not surprised if they write and speak like that. How did that sentence get to press? Britain isn't confused by blogging.They are well in control of it. They have some landmark blog sites and their capacity to blog when they live elsewhere is duly noted. The article went off on a tangent with the terms dogging and happy slapping and then returned to the point in hand..British people being confused by blogging. Their point being, I think, there is no British buzz about blogging. Could have fooled me. The British blogs are quite noteworthy and make a mark. I guess the blogosphre is akin to another country. Not all people speak the language and not all people know where the blogosphere is. Blogland is quite easy to find, but a many people are ignorant of other countries. That doesn't mean the country doesn't exist and doesn't have an innate value. I was asked where the Isle of Man was today and what it was like and if they had their own language. Doesn't in anyway devalue the Isle of Man.

The Isle of Man , incidentally, is between England and Ireland and the people there are very busy and proud of their island.
