Loïc Le Meur’s manifesto on the blogging revolution (and its discontents) makes some interesting points about the practice moving out of the tech-geek ghetto and into the mainstream, where "artists, academics, politicians and so many others" are joining the social networking party. True, as the success of Loïc’s recent conference, which included just plain folks like Shimon Peres and Nicolas Sarkozy, goes to show. His post is nothing less than a plea for a widening of "L’éducation entrepreumentale" in Europe. Whether this spirit translates into more and greater commercial success on the Web remains harder to gauge. Until then, aux armes, citoyens. — Alain Sherter
