Who Let the Blogs Out?

One thing is for sure, this reading was much easier to get through that Neuromancer. It was interesting to read how blogging got started and which people were in a way responsible for the form of expression.

Biz Stone's book Who Let the Blogs Out? seems to be written with more attention placed on the idea that not everyone knows what a blog is (imagine that!) much less how to go about writing with proper protocol. For someone, such as myself, who is new to the blogging world this has become an invaluable tool. Not only can you read it and not feel completely lost as I will admit I felt with Neuromancer (surprise right?) it also lists sites in the back of the book to help you personalize your blog. I also found the glossary in the back to be quite helpful when deciphering the terms used in the chapters.

The reading covers a great deal of topics, and at times almost seems like an instructional on how to post things properly. In the portion that I read, it appears that this publication also has valuable etiquette tips and answers to frequently asked questions.

Overall, this book has many valuable points and as blogging leaves the "geek culture" and becomes more mainstream it is important for those of us who aren't as technologically advanced to be informed of the proper way to do things.
