* Google effects
universe of blogs can be seen as overlapping circles
* writing about personal lives (journals), for personal growth or social interaction
* writing about professional lives, for professional purposes
* pro/am political punditry
* use of blogging tools for other kinds of content management

* students writing about their experiences
* same with faculty or employees — both in personal realm and in their professional fields (cf: interlectual, freakonomics)
* a way for us to get professional development on the cheap (design blogs, marketing blogs, and again, interlectual)

our existing media outlets beginning to use weblogs. (http://www.thenewstribune.com/blogs/ — http://blog.seattlepi.nwsource.com/buzz/)

other then this it is good
