In an article titled, Riding the tiger, Steve Gillmor makes these observations.

AT THE INTERSECTION of two disruptive technologies lies the Bermuda Triangle of the Digital Age. Wi-Fi (802.11 wireless communications) and Weblogs (the untethered journalism of the immediate) are comingling to produce an intoxicating blend of chaos and innovation.

The Wi-Fi/Weblog axis has been increasingly visible in recent months at conferences and trade shows. At the O'Reilly Emerging Technology conference two weeks ago and again last week at the Vortex 2002 networking confab, 802.11-enabled laptops chattered quietly in the background as attendees caught up on e-mail, sent pithy instant messages to one another, and, in the case of the O'Reilly conference, posted a running transcript/commentary on key sessions to a variety of Weblogs.
