		<description>Warning: potential self-promotion ahead.

Jeff, in short, thank you. Initially, I rued the growth of blogs as so much Bo Peabody (remember him?) homepages-r-us. But it really became clear when I tried to relaunch an entire publication&#039;s online presence -- you were warned! -- atop Blogsmith, the engine behind Weblogs Inc. I have to say, it&#039;s a grand experiment and we&#039;re just now seeing the benefits.

To your other points on customer service (I won&#039;t say the D word), the blog platform, more than anything else, puts us in direct contact with our readership. I have to say that even the sometimes complaints evolve into pretty warm conversations in zero time. 

So, blogs are what you make of &#039;em. Indeed.</description>

		<description>Jeff isn&#039;t part of the Right Wing only a mindless Thomas Friedman cult member. I&#039;m not really sure which is worse!</description>

		<description>Hmmm...Here&#039;s how to define the blog called &quot;Buzzmachine&quot;: a blog that tries to appear &quot;liberal&quot; but in actuality is operated by the right wing so as to manage liberal discourse and keep it within narrow parameters, never cutting too close to the bone.</description>

		<description>&quot;your audience is limited only by the power of your intellect.
Jeffâ€™s blog is an excellent example of this&quot;

The limits of his intellect affecting the power of his blog? Indeed.</description>

		<description>A blog is the ultimate power tool available to a single individual. It provides almost unlimited multiplication of effort.

Through a weblog, a single individual can be connected to and can affect an almost unlimited number of other individuals. 

From a practical standpoint, your audience is limited only by the power of your intellect.

Isn&#039;t it common for people (me, for one, sometimes) to define something unfamilier and make the topic totall boring?</description>

		<description>Ok Jeff, if you don&#039;t want to define it, then when someone says executives should &quot;blog&quot;, what should they do? What should Mr. Dell do? Should he just create a website, oops, Dell already has one of those.</description>

		<description>I got in the same argument with a friend.  He said &quot;you&#039;re a blogger&quot;, and I said-- A weblog is just a type of software used to set up a web site.  It can be about anything from trading stock tips to posting articles.  It is just an easy to use CMS system for web sites.</description>

		<description>A wise friend of mine on LiveJournal said this, and I&#039;ve kept this quote at the top of my LJ subsequently:

&quot;The blog is like no form ever invented before. It can be a diary, a column, a notice board, a one-person literary magazine, a one-person newspaper, a picture gallery, a practical joke.&quot;</description>

		<description>If I may try, I&#039;d define blogs as a subset under websites, parrallel to the likes of e-commerce sites and web portals.

Lose definition: Websites created and owned by individuals for purpose of self-publishing, self-expression and communications.   

But of course, everything might change tomorrow!</description>

		<description>That&#039;s like asking someone to name their favorite movie.  Comedy? Drama? Documentary? Adventure? Kids Movie?  Weepie? Sci-Fi?

Blogs can be, and are anything you want them to be.  It would take a guy his entire life to read all the political blogs, and he would never get through them all because more come on line each day.  Not to mention blogs focused on tech issues, TV show discussions, travel and kitties.

Define blogs?  Define life.</description>
