Why blog?

It’s not because I think I necessarily need to blog myself in order to write (more or less) intelligently about the impact of this new kind of media on politics, business and culture. (Hopefully my new book demonstrates that.)

Rather, it’s that I simply want to participate in this extraordinary new universe of conversation and debate that’s now taking place online.

An excerpt from one of a handful of interesting posts from David Kline (co-author of the blogging book I contributed to) writing on his first day of blogging at BlogRevolt.com yesterday. David’s weblog is bound to become an invaluable destination for information and debate among bloggers of all persuasions: business, political, social.

Better still the site has links to an essay and a few key interviews from the book (full title Blog! How the Newest Media Revolution is Changing Politics, Business, and Culture). I especially recommend interviews with novelist Ayelet Waldman and Microsoft blogger Robert Scoble–not least because the Q&As were brilliantly executed by a certain EiNY!
