HW 19: web of influence

On page 129 and 130 of Blog!, there is a question that states "What about weblogs themselves? How do you think they will change over the coming years?" and Scobles response clearly states that this is the start of weblogs, that hey are going to be more integrated and more technologically connected to the Internet. In other words he's stating that it's going to be really easy to connect with other blogs, by being able to tag, and use key words to find what you're looking for. For example you will be about to find a blog about Sherwin-Williams by clicking the tagged word 'paint' and it is basically going to be a lot more convenient for a lot of people. Even more importantly he exclaims that it's not just going to be a blog world anymore, it's going to be an intense share of video, audio, drawings, pictures, maps, where you are from your cellphone. Basically, everyone is going to know everything about you from your blog? Is that necessarily an advance in the weblogs though? That is almost scary to think that if you have such an in depth blog, that someone can look at it, and know and figure everything there is to know about you.
