Useful book on blogging, 22 Nov 2005
By siddhartha - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Blog! (Hardcover)
I thought this was a great book. So many people these days talk about blogs as though they are the answer to everyoneıs prayers or written by rightwing nuts. This book showed that the blogosphere, like society, is full of people from all walks of life, and it showed just how useful blogging can be in the
worlds of politics, business and culture. Thereıs a little bit of
something for everyone in here.
I admit that I skipped a few of the business interviews when I found nothing there for me but if you run a large or small
business Iım sure youıll find those parts interesting.
My personal favorites were the politics and culture essays, especially the interview with Michael Chabonıs wife Ayelet Waldman. The introductory essays were also good giving a balanced introduction to each of the chapters and all of the commentary pieces pulled from newspapers and magazines were entertaining.
The book had a tendency to repeat itself slightly with different
interviewees saying the same thing in different ways, but I suppose you canıt help that when you are interviewing so many different people.
On the whole I would say this looks like one of the best books out there on blogging at the moment.

Blogging and street cred, 11 Dec 2005
By Craig Buck "I think, therefore I read" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Blog! (Hardcover)
David Kline and Dan Burstein have been around for decades as respected author/journalists. They may not have great "street cred" among bloggers, but I've never expected a crime reporter to commit murder before writing about it and I certainly wouldn't trust a political writer more because he were a politician. This book is a critical investigation into the many ways that blogging is rapidly changing our world -- from culture to business to science to politics -- and in the arena of such trend-synthesis, the author/editors reek of cred. The essays are far-reaching and insightful, and the analysis pulls them all together clearly and cohesively. A virtual Bible of the Blogosphere.

Goes beyond the "me too - how to" books on blogging, 30 Sep 2005
By Dana "Dana VanDen Heuvel" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Blog! (Hardcover)
David and Dan really got it right with blog!. They take a meta view of the blogosphere looking at the political, business and cultural implications of blogs as a metaphor for the changes taking place in how organizations interact with their constituents.
