Hi all

Some interesting dynamics on empyre! After last month where Young Hae 
Chang Heavy Industries adopted a somewhat provocative or supercilious 
or sarcastic tone with some respondents (correct me if I'm wrong) and 
were rewarded with seeing the conversation essentially DIE here are 
some bloggers who want to shake things up!

I think like a lot of other listers I was initially surprised by 
Jimpunk (who sounds like he is French by the way) and the others 
posting links and "talking in links" - I have to say also that I found 
screenfull really really great, completely anarchic energy - love the 
pdf book too! Anyway there probably could have been more responses and 
interaction... personally I have no problem with people talking about 
themselves their art or their mother if they do with style and energy.

At the same time something which has not come up (yet) is the issue of 
blogspace - the link economy - how do you all think about linking to or 
not linking to other blogs? Do you feel part of a blogging community or 
tribe? Do you seek out links?

Oh, and a part of me wants to add - in the nicest possible way, coming 
from an academic wanker no less - if some of you seem not to like lists 
then why did you agree to come in as guests?

Cheers
Mathieu
