Moore's Lore, May 4, 2005
This particular entry thinks about the narrowing difference between "professional" journalist (vetted by corporations) and "amateur" bloggers (vetted by each other). As blogs become main stream, they become credentialed, their authors come under scruitny, and eventually attack - both legal and physical.

Moore's Lore is a riff on Moore's Law, which says that computer chips double in power every 18 months. Much more interesting, at least from my POV is Metcalf's La stating that the power of the network grows like 2**N, where N is the number of people connected to it. (Cf. Alice's restaurant)
The underlying process by which "blogs" evolve in public perception, is reminescent of McLuhan's First Law of Media - "The first content of new media is old media."
