From Gizmodo's tech-geekery to Matt Drudge's political commentary and Go Fug Yourself's snarky sartorial quips, it's hard to imagine life without your favorite blogs. But despite their current omnipresence (112 million and counting), few could have predicated blogs' cultural and political capital a decade ago. This evening, Chicago Sun-Times journalist Laura Washington and a panel of blog-happy experts discuss the brave new(-ish) world of cyber-communication. Topics include online decorum and blogging pitfalls like "oversharing" (cough, Emily Gould, cough). Tonight's discussion helps anyone navigate the blogosphere with aplomb — honest to blog.
