Blogging Gets a Little Respect

Dan Farber of ZDNet on What's up with blogging, and why should you care?

What's all the fuss about blogging? It looks and smells mostly like writing, self-expression conveyed in a chronological format that invites comments and the inclusion of a variety of media types and links, similar to a Web page or e-newsletter. In fact, blogs (weB LOG) provide a way for non-programmers or HTML jockeys to present their writings, ramblings, diaries, rants, marketing spiel, political advocacy, research or whatever online communication with simple, yet increasingly powerful tools.

An excellent story on blogging. Too often when a "legitimate" media organization publishes a blogging story, it takes a condescending viewpoint. This was a welcome change. Thanks for sharing Phil!
