Mad man bites a dog

Hearty welcome to the new generation media. Of course, we are feeling a total change in the emerging media horizon. Innovations, ideas and new concepts arise frequently here. Let's forget history, not because it's irrelevant but it's not necessary to discuss of it.
What happened recently? Total change occured in print media, no? Newspaper language, layout, specialisations, special pages,... so many highlights to be pointed out. But no doubt, print media limited itseld. It was not ready to accept changes beyond a 'lakshmana rekha'. On the vast boundaries of these limitations, we could see the rapid growth and the still continuing strong presence of visual media. They made men see things which print media made not to see. So many vested interests and 'privacy policies' of print rajahs were washed off in the powerful light beams of video cameras.
Still enough blanks remained unfilled. There comes this medium on which we now work. Internet also had a heap of problems in the beginning. Even at the time when our intelligentia and academic gurus were boasting of net connectivity, we were not sure whether at least a small minority of our fellow-beings were able to browse net. Anyway now it has become a reality. Orkut was something new for at least a few months. But it was a mad rush of new community groups which followed it. Now it's the 'era' of blogs. What next? Can you try a response even though not a lengthy one? Are you interested to join a healthy discussion on this topic? Let's try to make our blog lively. At least occasionally, try to key-in a few words. Who else is there to maintain and upgrade our thoughts and our own blog!
