So today I tried to resub to some lists I used to be on some time back - before the blogsplosion - and most of them are dead, though the subjects they address are live and kicking.
The question this begs is - have blogs killed mailing lists? Here's a bit of a nostalgic link about flamewars on usenet driving the digerati to mailing lists in the first place. Interesting to think about blogs as part of this bigger picture.
