A review of Hugh Hewitt's book, Blog.
What makes blogs revolutionary? Hewitt likens blogging to the Reformation.
How huge? Well, Hewitt compares weblogs to Martin Luther's Protestant Reformation of the 16th century. Isn't that a bit presumptuous? Is the Blogosphere really comparable to the Reformation? "Absolutely", Hewitt says (and other bloggers agree). "The Church lost control of the text, and when they did that, especially with its translation into German, individual people began making decisions for themselves. Today, Big Media has lost control of the information flow, and the consequences are immediate and all around us. And business, especially, is figuring this out."
