"LIKE a cultural Rorschach test, the Fringe is never slow to register a trend. So it's no surprise that in the year when bloggers have threatened to unseat the Deputy Prime Minister, broken new pop acts and spilled the beans on every beleaguered public institution from the NHS to the police force, the Edinburgh Festival teems with productions based on weblogs.
