Wired News: Vive les Blogs!

Wired News: Vive les Blogs!:

interesting... hope to see you soon! james

"Spurred by a culture of popular expression and debate that can be traced back to France's 17th-century salons, the French are embracing weblogs with a greater zeal than anyone on the European continent.

Take a recent Paris warehouse party, which hooked up 200 local bloggers in person for the first time, an illustration of the European web's best-kept secret -- when it comes to blogs, the French can't get enough.

'The French have a long tradition of speaking loudly,' said Lo�c Le Meur, a Frenchman and Six Apart's European vice president. 'We are the people who made the French Revolution, (the national uprising of) May '68 -- and just look at all our strikes! We always want to debate. Perhaps blogs are the ultimate tool for us to express ourselves.'"
