Description:
John Gruber (DaringFireball.net) and Merlin Mann (43Folders.com)
discuss the current state of blogging as a medium for creative
expression, weighing the opportunities and challenges of building a
thoughtful online presence in a world where everybody owns a printing
press. They'll consider the ascendance of Digg-friendly "problogs" and
debate the subtler pleasures of careful writing that reaches smaller,
but potentially less "profitable" audiences.
