line.at.infinity's Journal: Hurricane Katrina and the Internets

This was a rather unusual experience... I was listening to my list of podcasts, one of them being A Spoonful of Russian, which is the only foreign language lesson podcast I am subscribed to. Lesson #2 started with a blurb by the host Natalia about how her family had to evacuate from their home in New Orleans to their relatives' place in New Jersy. There I was, listening to a hurricane Katrina evacuee. I guess these sort of things are becoming more commonplace on the internets. With so many bloggers out there, those who were once the reported have become themselves the reporters.
