(via J.D. Lasica) Great post by Kevin Drum (one of the first bloggers for hire) on what Weblogs do well. It does a good job of getting to the flexibility of the medium and points out some stark contrasts to print.
Blog posts can be any length. If a thought only deserves a couple of sentences, that’s what it gets. If it deserves a thousand words, it can get that too. When was the last time you saw a 200-word op-ed or a 20-minute segment on the evening news?
