Is it still a blog? Remember that a lot of bloggers actually do that, especially the less technically inclined, who don't know about the spam fighting plugins... or don't even know what a plugin is. Many blogs, when they get really popular, disable comments completely, because can't handle the spam. Are they still blogs, after they do that? Jope: what if a blogger disables comments?

Many blogs, when they get really popular, disable comments completely, because can’t handle the spam. Are they still blogs, after they do that?

I should me commenting here, as I linked you from mu post on the subject... 8-) I don't quite agree... while bloggers and writers may share the same "underlying creative/media function", I think their purpose may differ. The blogger wants comments, links, etc... Basically, blogging is prompting and maintaing a discussion, not simply writing as a 'writer' or 'journalist' would do...

I don’t quite agree… while bloggers and writers may share the same “underlying creative/media function”, I think their purpose may differ.

The blogger wants comments, links, etc… Basically, blogging is prompting and maintaing a discussion, not simply writing as a ‘writer’ or ‘journalist’ would do…

Then again, I do agree a blog can be a form of web site, and in fact many blogs are simply web sites done with a particular tool…

"Blog" is just a dynamic site, and a blogger an online writer. Media just reinvent the words based on "weblog".
