"An incredibly strong urge to post"

Going off topic for just a second.

Fred Wilson, the New York-based venture capitalist behind AVC just identified blogging's 'killer app' in one short sharp post:

I can't read the newspaper anymore without getting an incredibly strong urge to post. I need a two way medium and the newspaper (online and offline) is still a one way medium.

I just had a similar experience with another one way medium - a book. My first instinct after finishing Bad Thoughts by Jamie Whyte was to crank up the ETC dial-up and try and find his blog so I could use it to share some of my own bad thoughts. So far, no joy. I may even have to ... gasp ... send him a letter.
