Hi
I've found this article published by one of the most famous bloggers, Andrew Sullivan, published on "The Atlantic". It's an interesting reflection about the nature of blogs and its relationship with journalism. He points out some of the features of Web 2.0 we have talked about during the next class, namely the opportunity to be immediately linked to the sources on which claims and statements are grounded on. Another reflection I agree with is the following about readers: "They will send links, stories, and facts, challenging the blogger’s view of the world, sometimes outright refuting it, but more frequently adding context and nuance and complexity to an idea."
If you are interested, here's the link:

Now that I've started Blogging, I don't think I need to confine it to strictly academic things. I like the freedom it gives me to ramble loosely and make a minor statement. An audience is always helpful because of the commentary, but I actually find the space I've created for myself quite important now, as a kind of forum for expression of thought.
