So there are very few things in my life that I am really proud of. Here’s one. As some of you know, I’ve launched a campaign to recruit people to the blogging world. My nephew was a big victory. A talented writer-in-the-making I knew in high school was a second. And now, I am extremely pleased to report that Judge Richard Posner and Professor Gary Becker have decided to take a spin. Tomorrow is the launch of the Becker-Posner-Blog. Judge Posner was a guest blogger on my blog. (You can see the collection of his posts here.) In this way we, if not Congress, help promote the progress of science.

Few things to be proud of!
Aw, sure you do! We think so, anyway.
If you think it’s worth your time, you might drop a comment in this thread:
http://www.crookedtimber.org/archives/002956.html
so that the nonsense “hoax?” thing can be put to rest, and perhaps some real arguments could be put forward.
You’ve campaign is a good thing only to the extent that you know and can recruit people who are somebody. Blogs are currently dominated by nobodies. (Like me, if I were to start one.)
Blogging is legitimized by people in the mainstream having blogs. Lessig, Posner. and by mainstream journalists Joshua Micah Marshall, etc.
Thank you Mr. Lessig
I guess I’m the one confused.
If blogging NEEDS to be legitimized, then how is getting people to blog different that getting people to do xyz in order to join the run-of-the-mill cult.
Btw, what’s the difference between a blog and a website devoted to oneself?
That’s not rhetorical, for you debaters.
~~
So people can put up a website. That’s not exactly new nor news. What is the websites purpose?
Not an original question.
(Usually answered: to SELL something, like “the legitimacy of blogs” for the loss-leader, then moving “up” to what…?)
So, inform me of the wisdom of Yet Another Movement Started (which was started some time ago, btw)…? Btw, I’ve posted my blog URL previously, but it was short-lived. The value of bloggers’ contributions to society was somewhat longer lived, but met the same fate.
Iow, I’ll be glad to debate any of you on the merits of blogging, but first you’d hafta come up with some semblance of a definition, and since I’ve studied the genre you ain’t gonna be able to snow me on your addiction like you can others.
Signing off, because I already can presume in advance that this is the kind of debate you’ll want to stifle, like any common-sense views.
Which is the primary art and science of bloggers, btw.
