Briefly: George Orwell becomes a blogger
July 30th, 2008
The sponsors of the Orwell Prize are celebrating the author's 70th birthday by posting Orwell's diary entries in blog format. Beginning August 9 (the day Orwell's diaries began), the organization will begin posting his entries on a blog, following the same dates as the entries in the diaries, allowing readers to follow the author's personal musings in "real time," simply transposed 70 years.
As Good Morning Silicon Valley notes, "this time, you can post comments." There's no word whether a Fake George Orwell will respond.
