A posit on blogging and dark matter in the universe

If I write it, will they come? Or, to paraphrase Steven Levy, is all this just so much "dark matter" as he refers to relatively unknown blogging sites like this one? I hope not. Much as each of us spend our surfing time at the corporate mega sites, I've always found that some of the most interesting places on the Web to be sites created by children. Crude, simple, unsophisticated, but so very human. Be it a 4H Club report on the growth of a pet calf to kiddie art, it's so wonderfully un-AOL. These are sites you won't find at the top of the list on Google. Or the top of someone's mind. But perhaps someday, when future archeologists examine what happened in the early 21st century, blogs might be the best record of what really took place.

Taken that way, maybe dark matter really matters.
