Japanese Internet star spreads blogging gospel

A wonderful article on Joi Ito, everyone's favorite blogger. [USA Today].

"Snapshots of his pet dog, thoughts on democracy and a recipe for bamboo shoots clutter Joichi Ito's Web journal, a lively peek into the tireless mind of one of Japan's biggest Internet stars.

For Ito, promoting blogging came naturally in a life already devoted to bridging Japanese and American cultures.

Ito believes blogging will one day prove as influential as the printing press.

"Blogging will fundamentally change the (way) people interact with media and politics and provide us with an opportunity to overhaul our outdated democracies," he said".
