For some reason this 9/11 has hit me harder than previous years. I feel the tragedy more now than I did when it happened for some reason and have been preoccupied with TV and Internet news stories. Here is one storyfrom Wired news that I found interesting.
When you think back on it, 9/11 really did help spur on the popularity of weblogs. Wired News reports:
<strong><a target="_new" href="http://www.wired.com/news/culture/0,71753-0.html"> 9/11: Birth of the Blog</a></strong> "While phone networks and big news sites struggled to cope with heavy traffic, many survivors and spectators turned to online journals to share feelings, get information or detail their whereabouts. It was raw, emotional and new -- and many commentators now remember it as a key moment in the birth of the blog."
