Blog this, lady
Someone named Amy Alexander, to whom I dearly hope I'm not related, went on NPR recently and said some uncomplimentary things about blogging, some of which were constitutionally protected opinion I happen to disagree with, some of which were just flat wrong and some of which were missing some significant context.
Fortunately, Steve Gilliard and the people who live in his comments box (I stopped by) are there to put the smackdown on her. Some of the language is a tad rough, but it's a good read.

She's wrong. Mostly. But don't throw out the baby, Lex. She makes at least one solid point I'd love bloggers to walk away with. The big name bloggers are, by and large, and bunch of self-congratulatory buggers. There's nothing new and novel about the medium -- just the method of dissemination. To bloggers everywhere: Get over yourselves and tell a worthwhile story! That's all anyone cares about, regardless of the means by which you tell it! ;-)
