Today is Blog Action Day, a movement to get as many bloggers as possible talking about one thing - the environment. It is going to be a smash hit I’m sure, but imagine if they had chosen ‘iPod rumors’ as their topic. Or ‘Britney Spears’. Most bloggers wouldn’t have noticed the day was any different.
