The Victorians had some great ideas about the future of blogging. Indeed, many people in the Victorian era were much wiser when it came to blogging than a lot of 21st century bloggers are, which is surprising, given that trying to talk to a Victorian about "blogging" would probably land you in an insane asylum. Having said that, I would imagine that any readers able to travel through time at will would probably not find a 19th century asylum that hard to escape from, but I digress.
(Edit: I think some American readers may be taking my use of "evangelist" the wrong way. As a British guy, to me it means the same as "fundie", or "nutter" - I'm not attacking the good media-analysing bloggers out there.)
