Some of those posts were for sure hilarious.<BR/><BR/>Of course, when you have ears all over a city as big as NYC, it's easy to come up with something so entertaining, right? "Overheard" was definitely one of my favorites, mostly because of the content, but partly because of its structure (if that's the right word): anyone, anywhere (in the city) can post to it. It's the biggest benefit blogs have to offer, in my opinion: bringing together common view/happenings/whatever that everyone experiences. The same people who started "Overheard in NYC" started "Overheard in the Office," which I didn't think was as good, but it appealed to me because it is a nation-wide forum for people to contribute to.<BR/><BR/>I guess my real thought behind all this is that blogs like "Overheard" are so important for people today because everyone has become geared towards consumption. Good post, though, I liked what you had to say.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
