I'm not a blind proponent of blogging, but if I were going to give advice to a college Junior/Senior right now I would tell them to start a blog on whatever issue they're most passionate about. Not a self-indulgent online journal, but a place to air their thought processes and grow as a thinker and writer. And as a less-silent processor of information. Thanks Joel.

It was actually my friend and co-blogger Taylor that wrote this one (mine is <a href="http://tropophilia.com/2008/10/07/blogging-your-passions-or-how-i-got-into-google/" rel="nofollow">here</a>), but thanks for the compliment and for tuning us into the Penelope shout-out! I was wondering why we were getting so much traffic from Brazen yesterday... :) Thanks Jenny!

You cover the downsides to blogging as well as the greater upsides -- which is why the article works so well. Too many critiques of blogging (or unrestrained praise in support of it) start with the premise, "well, I (emphasis on the "I") wouldn't blog well, so why should anyone else!" or, "I'm a fantastic blogger and it works well for me; it will work for everyone in the same way." Characterizing the pre-blogging survey of information as "silent intake" is especially keen. Excellent post!

It was written quickly at the end of a long week. But, then again, that's kind of the point isn't it? Hope this makes sense. It was written quickly at the end of a long week.
