Blogging, what is it?

The National Law Journal has a little piece on blogging titled "Blogging law profs assault ivory tower, Is it scholarship, or a cyber chit-chat?" (Feb. 27, 2007). The article features two Law Professor Blogs Network editors, Paul Caron, editor of TaxProf Blog and co-founder of the Law Professor Blogs Network, and OSU Law Prof Douglas Berman, whose blog, Sentencing Law & Policy, was cited by U.S. Supreme Court Justice John Paul Stevens in State v. Booker, 543 U.S. 220 (2005) in additon to be citing in at least four federal circuit court opinions and more than 10 federal district court opinions.
