Who reads blogs?

Well, no one reads MY blog, but you know blogs have hit the big time when...
...[S]ome analysts say U.S. intelligence and law enforcement officials might be starting to track blogs for important bits of information.
For the record, the privacy issue is BS. I actually think it's great (honestly) that intelligence officials have the creativity to think of reading blogs, and the technical knowledge to find them. Remember how the FBI couldn't computer-search two words at once before 9/11?

P.S. It's interesting that the word "blog" began its life with a small first letter. All other terms about the Internet I can think of (Internet, E-mail, Web, etc.) began their lives with capital first letters. Some retain the capitals, some don't. But they were all born that way.
