Nicole Simon : Why is a true European blogosphere not emerging yet ?

Nicole Simon is one of the best known blogger in Europe. She is based in Germany. Her blog, "Cruel to be kind" is written in English. Nicole acknowledge the fact that, currently, Europe doesn't have a true blogosphere. National blogosphere does exist in some countries. The UK or France, where the political landscape is more polarized, have a more active blogosphere than in, let say, Belgium or Germany. Mum's or niche blogs exist, though, in those countries. According to Nicole, the fact that blogger still thing localy and write solely in their own language is a long standing barrier before we can experience the birthe of a true European blogosphere.
This video interview was recorded at the Eventoblog 2009, in Sevilla.

Well look at that. Your static picture doesn't do you justice. Get another one.

I don't think my wife is too keen on hearing your suggestive voice informing me "you've got mail."
