Interesting post on an article about weblogs

From Megnut:

"Clay Shirky's got a new essay examining Shirky: Power Laws, Weblogs, and Inequality. I've only briefly skimed it but it looks very interesting."

Clay's observations about power laws is really interesting. I especially like the implications of power laws on stardom - "Freedom of Choice Makes Stars Inevitable". What I inferred from this was that given that there are so many people that want to entertain (and be entertained) then you naturally get super stars, primarily because people's choices affect each other. Clay uses this to justify the disparity in the blog community, but it can easily be applied to all sorts of arenas.
