Robin Good - What is a blog?

Yes, this is me, Robin Good, finally caught on the other side of the video-camera and sharing my own personal take on what is a blog. "A blog is the simplest way that anyone can become an online publisher, instantly. You wanna be a journalist, you wanna be a reporter, you wanna be a news maker on a niche topic that you only know about? Well, blogs is the technological device that makes all this possible without requiring you to know any html, coding, programming. I mean, no technical know-how is required. That's what blogs enable. The ability for anyone to sign up for a service or buy a tool that allows them to publish on the internet in a way that is as easy as sending an email to someone else. It allows me and you to say outright what you've just seen, what you're reporting about, what you know of and it's breaking out there before anyone else does because it is so simple and immediate."

Robin Good is my absolute favorite new media pioneer. Ever. His blog, Master New Media, is the most informative resource for emerging media that I've ever encountered. -dave myers | portland, oregon, usa
