Everyone should have a blog. It's the most democratic thing ever.

I'm not sure blogs are necessarily the best place to get a pulse on anything. People want to blog for a variety of reasons, and that may or may not be representative.

I used to go on all these blogs and all these websites which I really don't like to go and read about at all, and I couldn't care less anymore.

Blogs are for anoraks who couldn't get published any other way.

Just because you have a blog doesn't mean that you should, like, lie for no reason.

I think a lot of journal articles should really be blogs.

I don't read blogs, I don't have MySpace, I don't have Facebook or Twitter - none of that.

I follow blogs, particularly all the main political ones - Guido Fawkes, Iain Dale, Coffee House, Paul Waugh, Iain Martin in the Wall Street Journal, and so on. And some American ones, like the Huffington Post, Gawker, Boing Boing; or Eater and Daily Candy, also American, which are about where to go to eat.

We've seen how grassroots journalism by blogs has had an impact at various points politically, as ordinary people have amplified stories that were being ignored by the traditional press.

I enjoy reading blogs, but am not interested in having my spurious thoughts out there.
