From the article:

# Blogging formalized this process: the blogroll, the reblog, and the  
# ?via? link at the bottom of the post were tailored for probabilistic  
# reading ? add an RSS reader to follow the sites you discovered because 
# you noticed that they were your favorite bloggers? favorite bloggers 
# and you were in business.

That seemed handy at the time for forming communities, but now that I've 
seen the resulting echo chambers and their effects on us, I'm not so 
sure. Things may have been better when it was harder to surround 
ourselves by people who agree with us.
