Hewitt, a law professor, covers the latest trend of blogging, a sort of online journaling of one's opinions and thoughts on any subject. The publication year is 2005 and blogs have made and defeated public figures such as presidential candidate Kerry, Dan Rather, and Obama. Coming from the general populace rather than the standard media, blogs are a new form of information/disinformation that sway public opinion just as newspapers once did. At the end is an appendix on the basics of getting your own blog started and a list of blogs to observe as models. (  )drj | Jun 10, 2009 |   In broad strokes, the first 100 pages of BLOG are a rehash of the "W" - Kerry campaign and how bloggers impacted the election. I found it interesting, but admittedly skimmed some, focusing on specific blog references. The next 50 pages of BLOG are about blogging and why an individual or business person should even bother to be aware of blogs. These fifty pages are worth the price of the book. The last 75 pages of BLOG are the rants (writings) of the author, Hugh Hewitt. Either you agree with him and thus like him or you don't At this time, there is not a lot of material about blogs - other than blogs themselves - available. At least for now, BLOG is the book. (  )Grandeplease | Oct 23, 2008 | This is a helpful introduction to the usefulness of the blog online medium.

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 078521187X, Hardcover)"Blog" is short for "Web log"-an online site with time-dated postings, maintained by one or more posters, that features links and commentary. But that is like saying a car is a means of transportation featuring four wheels. Millions are changing their habits when it comes to information acquisition, and the blogosphere has appeared so suddenly as to surprise even the most sophisticated of analysts. In Blog, best-selling author Hugh Hewitt helps you catch up with and get ahead of this phenomenon. Up until now no influential blogger has written a definitive book about this phenomenon. Since Hugh Hewitt's blog site-HughHewitt-was launched in early 2002, more than 10 million people have visited this site. Why does this visitor traffic matter? People's attentions are up for grabs. If you depend upon the steady trust of others, suddenly you have an audience waiting to hear from you. The race is underway, though, to gain mindspace and to be part of the blogosphere readers' habits and to position yourself as well as your business or organization at the forefront of this information movement.
