Commentary on blogging...

In his personal blog, Seth Godin writes a short piece about two very different types of blogs.
He explains how there are the big, top ranking blogs "written by teams of people" and there are the small, not as highly ranked blogs he calls "solo blogs" written by individuals. He, also, makes a distinction within the solo blogs between what he calls cat blogs, which are about the blogger, and blogs about the reader. Though I encourage everyone to both go read his post called "Death of the personal blog?" on this topic and to follow his blog, I think the best part of that post is:
 
The point is not to show up on a list, the point is to start a conversation that spreads, to share ideas and to chronicle your thinking.
 
What are your favorite blogs about? Are you interested in the blogger, or are you interested in the larger conversation started or continued by the blogger?
