My So-Called Blog (or reputation amongst teenagers)

M. is an unusually Zen teenage boy -- dreamy and ruminative about his personal relationships. But his obsessive online habits are hardly exceptional; he is one of a generation of compulsive self-chroniclers, a fleet of juvenile Marcel Prousts gone wild. When he meets new friends in real life, M. offers them access to his online world. ''That's how you introduce yourself,'' he said. ''It's like, here's my cellphone number, my e-mail, my screen name, oh, and -- here's my blog. Personally, I'd go to that person's blog before I'd call them or e-mail them or contact them on  AOL because I would know them better that way.''

And this is how reputation will be (is) amongst businesses and individuals in businesses. The grown up world isn't so far away.
