As more and more of us work from our homes, it's easy to feel isolated. Blogs allow us share ideas and events with people we may never meet but who share similar interests and concerns. With mainstream media's influence spiralling out of our lives, what better way to communicate about the latest media microcosms we've come across than on a blog? So forget about people huddled around the water cooler. I'll be tuning in on my computer -- ready to read what everyone has to say.
