Blog-based businesses have lower cost structures and are more 'authentic,' and as a result are drawing larger shares of ad budgets.
The problem is that with blogging, the model is publish first, maybe fact-check later. In newspapers, the model is you fact check first and then publish. But those models are merging.
If a book isn’t at least somewhat polarizing, it didn’t say anything of value. [Blog entry - November 1, 2014]
In 1998, I started a blog, something I could control very easily and update at my own whim.
I enjoy reading blogs, but am not interested in having my spurious thoughts out there.
I used to go on all these blogs and all these websites which I really don't like to go and read about at all, and I couldn't care less anymore.
One of my favorite things about playing Avery Jennings on 'Dog With a Blog' is that I get to play a real teenager who deals with everyday issues.

As my blog editor knows all too well, I wasn't all that keen to enter the blogosphere world.
