Interesting story from Jonathan Watts in today's Graun about the "rise of the webocracy" in "the most online country in the world". Tomorrow Roh Moo-hyun, the "world's first internet president" is inaugurated. He claims to know HTML. What interested me was that the Korean news website OhmyNews is reckoned to be as influential or more so than any newspaper in the country. It is therefore "arguably the world's most domestically powerful news site, which has built up almost as big a readership and as fearsome a reputation for moving public opinion as the Sun [in the UK]"
