Weblogs poised to take off in UK

Weblogs are the latest big thing to hit the internet. These web pages, which are simply pages of news and comment posted in short snippets – with the most recent at the top – have been around since the mid-1990s, but have reached the mass market only in the past few years.

The most famous blog is InstaPundit at http://www.instapundit.com/.Its author, Glen Reynolds, has become a respected US political commentator.

The first sites specialising in property and real estate are beginning to emerge. Tony Gill, a real estate continuity adviser across the Atlantic, has started his own weblog which posts new thoughts and stories about the topic on a regular basis.

Recent posts cover the change in attitude of Canadian companies to their property strategies and the movement of tenants around Manhattan. It can only be a matter of time before the first similar UK property blogger appears.
