I Blog Therefore I Am

There is a confidence to Andrew Sullivan's recent essay on blogging, an ease that comes from living his material every day. Sullivan is the most prominent blogger at The Atlantic, and his piece illuminates the spirit of the new medium. "The zero-sum game of old media becomes win-win…the connections between bloggers are as important as the content on the blogs," he writes, comparing himself to an online disc jockey. Sullivan concludes: "The torrent of blogospheric insights, ideas, and arguments places a greater premium on the person who can finally make sense of it all, turning it into something more solid, and lasting, and rewarding…words, of all sorts, have never seemed so now."
