BloggerTribe

Eric writes, on his blog, that he's found himself recommending people for jobs whom he's only "met" by reading their blogs. He describes the process as a burgeoning tribal affiliation, enabled by the 'Net.

For me, I feel like the tribes are beginning to grow up much more around the little nodes and bubbles of the blogosphere, and they're becoming rapidly more important as us early-twenties bloggers own real sphere of influence grows in the meatspace.

10 years from now, I can see not being part of the community be a really detrimental thing for a job hunter.

    I'm an avid blog reader, but not a blogger myself. I used to feel like a part of it all, but as more and more blogs cease permitting comments I don't qualify as a member of the tribe. But who can blame bloggers for blocking comments with the flamers and agendaheads lining up to fill the comment areas with crap.

Cory Doctorow is just far enough ahead of the game to give you that authentic chill of the future, and close enough to home for us to know that he’s talking about where we live as well as where we’re going to live; a connected world full of disconnected people. One of whom is about to lobotomise himself through the nostril with a pencil. Funny as hell and sharp as steel.

Author of Transmetropolitan
