Have you ever wondered how bloggers would have reacted to historical events? I’ve tracked down the number of blog posts concerning "Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo" versus "wiretapping" during the months of April and May 2005 using the Blog Pulse Trend Tool. It showed that the number of posts about GMA and wiretapping peaked during the second week of June, around the same time when the President admitted to talking on the phone with a COMELEC official during the last elections.

This just shows the almost immediate reactions of bloggers everywhere to the events happening around them. This is why I thoroughly enjoyed viewing a slideshow prepared by Mena Troth of Six Apart making assumptions of how bloggers would have reacted to past events such as the sinking of the Titanic.

If you chuckle at the irreverence of bloggers today, have a hearty laugh when you take a blast of the past from this Viewmaster slideshow.
