Blogging is about genuine stories, not PR releases. Blogging is often the deconstruction of content presented by traditional outlets. Whether as an oppositional voice, or a complementary one, it remains for the most part a manifestation of intertextuality.
Anyone will be able to sign up and give their views, vote in online polls and make their feelings known on any or all of the issues. This is genuine interaction. Anyone can have an opinion.
Blogging is a challenge to journalists, editors, managers, regulators and readers, with bloggers able to take issue with journalists over matters of fact or opinion. Blogging is also (generally) free from advertising and operates outside the laws of intellectual property, since other people's material is commonly copied.

Blogging is about enabling the opinions of many people to be heard rather than the few, the creation of a Top 100 focuses on the opinions of the few. Blogging is not limited to traditional documents or notices. For example, a patient on a hospital journey moving from the ER to the recovery room can generate important information as the patient is wheeled through the doorways of the hospital. Blogging is just an easy way of publishing; it is a software platform, not a religious movement.
Blogging is no longer a tool for the bored or creative. It became a handy tool as early as 2005, but growth in the past few months suggest that this is one of Internet marketing trends which are here to stay. Blogging is easy, almost instant, publishing of content to a website, where every entry is preserved in a database and is therefore categorisable and searchable. Content can be photographs, recipes, restaurant reviews, or anything digitally storable on a computer that you can categorise... The true power of the blog comes from its interactivity with visitors and other blogs. Blogging is so much more developed, and richer, and sophisticated than traditional media give it credit for. There are communities out there (note "communities" rather than isolated, socially retarded freaks with broadband) with as much discipline and editorial rigor as any established print journal.
Blogging is the perfect solution; Blogging is new, and there is no system for people to fit into. Ergo, there's no reason why 'women blogging about politics' has to fit into the expectations set by 'women writing about politics for national newspapers'. Blogging is a commitment. You put yourself out there and write posts on something resembling a regular basis and try to find like-minded people to share your experiences with.
Blogging is not something your business can ignore. In a sense, blogging is conversation between you and your customers and potential customers. Blogging is a lightweight web publishing paradigm which provides a very low barrier to entry, useful syndication and aggregation behavior, a simple to understand structure and decentralized construction of a rich information network. Semantic blogging builds upon the success and clear network value.
Blogging is on the brink of a new phase that will probably include scandal, profitability for some, and a splintering into elites and non-elites over standards and ethics. The use of blogs by political campaigns in the mid-term elections of 2006 is already intensifying in the approach to the presidential election of 2008.
Blogging is a new social space.
