It's awfully quiet in here.

Lots of echoes bouncing around the big ole chamber pot of the blogosphere tonight.

Dave Winer wants a whole bunch of bloggers to show up at BloggerCon and talk about Nuking the Echo Chamber.

Meanwhile David Weinberger continues to worry whether echo chambers even exist.

Then The Wonderchicken gets all splenetic about the self-referential insanity of it all: riffing on the theme of a metachamber.  If a room full of the "Usual Suspect" bloggers are all gathered in a chamber, echoing each other on the subject of echo chambers, does all the noise cancel itself out leaving a blissful silence? Or would there still be a barely audible but no less irritating ultra high frequency whine?

Me? 

I'm just as confused as always about all this meta-metaphysical matter.

I've decided it's safest for me to adopt the characteristic blogger's behaviour when faced with a situation one cannot grok: to vent all this confusion and uncertainty - I've decided to launch another blog!

But this one will be different! Oh, yessiree. In a radical departure from the norm, this blog will only be used to explore one-dimensional lefty libertarian ideas, and will constantly restate the same point of view, cunningly paraphrasing itself on every consecutive post.

It will not ping weblogs.com, have an RSS or Atom feed, a blogroll, outgoing links, a sitemeter, or any real content to speak of.

To help prove that the phrase "echo chamber" is a null concept in blogspace, please refrain from linking to this blog. Or talking about it.

In fact, if you're not careful - if I detect so much as a trace of an echo - I'll delete the little sucker faster than you can say 'Ev'.

No neurons were injured in the making of this post. Or used.
