because i was the person who started the wikipedia article on the bombings, i am going to be interviewed tomorrow by the US public radio show "The World", apparently also shown on the world service. they are doing a show or piece about just general internet reactions.

the interest is bizarre and a little weird. i was just surprised nobody had kicked it off before me... we didn't make any scoops, although i think at some points we were more up to date than news.bbc.co.uk, and also we had better maps than most places.

part of me is wondering don't they have better things to do? like cover the actual news? but i am obviously being a latent media whore, since i agreed.

Interesting though, how the media is changing so that everyone can report it. With access to communication the likelyhood of dictatorship and civil war decreases, and voices are heard. And it's cool you'll be on the radio.

What about that American guy who was investigated by the Feds for anti-Bush sentiment on his blog?

Woo, that makes five internet celebrities I vaguely know. I'm almost semi-famous!
