matt thompson on marc ambinder

Perhaps more than any other publishing/broadcasting format, a blog is a manifestation of the choices and idiosyncrasies of its authors.

Matt Thompson's long-ish Snarkmarket piece on Marc Ambinder's blogend at The Atlantic is well worth reading. I love the fact that a dozen or so years on we're still having the discussion about "what is a blog;" because if we're still having it it means that the medium is vibrant, constantly changing, and fluid enough to encompass a wide variety of voices and forms.
