"Why I blog"
Take a few minutes to listen to the apologia that Cipriano, the Canadian author of Bookpuddle, has recorded to celebrate his first anniversary as a blogger. He's quite right about one thing: because blogging and reading blogs are purely voluntary, everyone involved is predisposed to think the best of everyone else. Amazingly - in my concededly limited experience - this good feeling carries over into personal encounters. Never before has it been possible to meet people on the basis of shared sensibility.
