Living and Dying By the Blog

My apologies for failing to stealthly plug the WSN Opinion Blog. I thought about it, but figured Ms. Redtape would flip and try to take it out on Jill somehow, if the URL could even make it into the column in the first place.

Jon has commented on this column over at his blog, and while I understand his critique, I want to stress that my point wasn't to say the NYU bloggers I spoke to were some sort of barometer on the blogosphere as a whole, but rather that their experiences and outlooks brings blogging issues to light. While it's true that the big bloggers aren't likely to shut down, I still believe that the democratic possibilities of personal blogs are tempered by their frailty.

This is an excellent batch of letters. I look forward to reading your responses...
