For something outside the normal for the Blog Herald we picked up this story on ABC Newsradio (think Australia’s version of NPR crossed with CNN) this afternoon on replay from the BBC World Service. Bill Thompson of a program named Go Digital, which bills itself as the weekly BBC World Service programme that looks at how technology is changing our lives, names 2003 as the “Year of the Blogs”. However their site is lacking a transcript, so for the Blog Heralds first audio link playable from 14k on real audio, just click on the icon.
