“I think there is a huge appetite for people to be able to publish easily to the web. I think there is a question in my mind as to whether or not blogs as they exist today are in fact that medium. I think they come today with a lot of conventions: You need to publish every day, you can?t retract or revise things, you have to publish another post. There?s a lot of religion around blogs that makes it not a great tool for, say, someone like my mother, who?d love to publish things on the web? I think there is a huge opportunity for blogs to broaden their perspective in the way they view some of their conventions and make themselves a lot more palatable for the public at large. ”
