Blogs 101 Reading, Writing & Finding

What makes a blog…a blog? “When I meet big honchos, important people involved in the web, I ask them if they have a web page, and they point me to their magazine. I don’t really care about the magazine’s top five hotsites for the week, I want to know what the guy thinks is cool. How did he get to be on top? Who is there with him? Tell me about yourselves. Otherwise, I’m gonna get bored and look for someone who is telling me something heartfelt, not something market driven.” – Justin Hall (1996)
