With blogging, there’s the opportunity to read something brand new, in some cases literally within minutes of it being written. While the classics have their place, blogs allow people to react instantly, and that (mixed in with the journal/voyeur factor) makes them appealing to read.

I want credit everytime you use David Sedaris to prove how cool you are. Remember who turned you onto him in the first place!

The move is to say “You read David (eyeroll) Sedaris?” Then scoff. Openly.

[...] I received quite a number of emails after yesterday’s post about traditional standards vs. ”open” blogging. Many of you applaud the growing democratization of the media through blogging. But others respect the editorial and quality control of the traditional media.

Sometimes when I’m reading a blog the line blurs between real life and drama. I have to remind myself that this is some one’s life I am reading about. I love the term “Citizen Journalism”.

Anyway, I still don’t like snooty.

Great post neil.

People in their right minds (and unright ones) disagree with me all the time, and yes, I am dumber than you, never having read Albert Bermel. I’m on way way to amazon, w/dunce cap on.
