A lecture called “Blogging, Now and Then (250 Years Ago)” is apparently going to be delivered tomorrow at Berkeley, by one Robert Darnton.
@zunguzungu Oooh. You going? Pretty sure (quite sure) I could give the Blogging, 160 years ago. Or 100. Or 30. But 250 is his era.

@emptywheel I might! I'm sympathetic to the argument, but feels like a bit of a caricature of blogging, and as such, I fear for the analogy. -
@zunguzungu Oh, we'll have to have that discussion in long form sometime. Don't think he (or I) would caricature it. -
@emptywheel :) My partner is a 17th century specialist, so I get that lecture all the time.
