Blogging affects the real world. Judge sees his ruling criticized on blog and revises it.

this afternoon the Fifth Circuit issued an amended opinion, and footnote seventeen of the amended opinion no longer contains any reference to the Third Circuit. Because Fifth Circuit Judge Jerry E. Smith -- the author of yesterday's Fifth Circuit decision -- seems to be a regular reader of this blog, and since the trivial error noted here yesterday was corrected so promptly, I will chalk this up as an example of this blog's having achieved tangible results in the form of an even more perfect Fifth Circuit opinion.

The error found was relatively minor. Still, the point is blogs can and do have an impact on reality. Blogging continues to grow and connect people in new and exciting ways. Saw this linked up on BoingBoing
