Blaine's latest...

Blaine has another front-page story in Thursday's (12/6) WaPo. The guy is on fire! This one is about Japanese bloggers, who, surprisingly, outnumber English-speaking bloggers around the world. Unlike American bloggers who blog to, um, get noticed and express strong opinions, Japanese bloggers focus on small things like their daily lunch menu and don't expect anyone to pay attention.

Also, in the Blaine publicity dept, check out this link for "Tokyo Stories" in video, which will build a Blaine-o-ramic collection of Japan stories. The WaPo's video team set this up when they were here in October, and it's a pretty cool model for what the WaPo is trying to do w/video on its home page; the future of newspapers indeed!

His first story on Burma ran on Tuesday. It's about Burmese rebels who sort of, kind of, want to fight the nasty Burmese govt, but they seem to lack the resources and power within the country to do so.
