Guardian gaffe: the backpacking blogger

Absolutely loving the comments on this first post of The Guardian’s new blog by a 19-year-old North London boy going to India.

I think it’s great when the comments are more than the sum of the article; you can sort of see the Web 2.0 model in action at a basic level, and it’s rather gratifying. They’re especially good when they’re negative, too. :)

Those comments are some of the best things I’ve read in ages - it’s only a shame so many have been conveniently edited/deleted by the moderator (though to the Guardian’s credit at least they leave a message to that effect rather than just removing them completely).
