Too hyper?Too local?

The Sunday Zits cartoon put me in mind of a couple things I've read lately indicating a key piece of fallout in our Brave New World: What used to be "not-news" now is, and the lines of privacy are a shiftin':

• Ed Cone has an example of the "everyone's a reporter" mentality
• NYT Magazine: Unconstrained by journalistic conventions, bloggers are blurring the lines between public events and ordinary social interactions and changing the way we date, work, teach and live. And as blogs continue to proliferate, citizens will have to develop new understandings about what parts of our lives are on and off the record.
