Blogging (for mer personally) is a semi-structured, semi-fluid, irregular activity. I'm not a journalist, much less an academic researcher, so I feel free to share opinions, but at the same time I don't just dash off posts--I sometimes spend weeks mulling over a post before it comes together, and I always try to write posts that have a reasonable "shelf life." But the beauty of the medium is that we're all free to blog in the way that works best for us. I like the comparison between blogging and other, less formal means of expression.

I sit down and structure how I"m thinking about a problem or an issue and put it out there for other folk's input. It's also that library of stories that help me to illustrate points I'm trying to make. We dash off glib missives in email, text messages, and sometimes twitter, that we have fewer opportunities to write formally. This is good exercise for the brain.

I'm quite confident I'll never "make a fortune" with my site, but in nearly 4 years of blogging (mostly on, occasionally off), I've found it a tremendously enriching experience in a number of ways. It's a space where I can "think out loud" and engage in public dialogue with people who share my interests (but who may well disagree with my conclusions); it's a readily-accessible library that I refer back to regularly; it's provided many opportunities both to find others working in my field and to make myself "findable" to people interested in me and what I do; and, finally, it's a record of my (evolving) thinking that allows people to get to know me much better than any social network profile ever could.

That's WORK. I would guess that part of the success of Twitter comes from its ability to remove that barrier. Now you can compact the non-content of a blog into small, time wasting chunks. I still contend that the most appropriate name for a single twitter entry is a "twit." Now that I think about it, most of the blogs I read point to other content and make a comment. There are scant few that seek to develop an original idea or tell a new story.
