Excuse Me, Professor, What’s a Blog?

If one year on the Internet is like dog years … the equivalent to seven years per year lived … then what will blogs look like a year from now?

I’m going to the North Carolina Science Blogging Conference next month in RTP to learn some skills, meet other bloggers and absorb the energy that will no doubt be produced when you bring 200 bloggers with similar interests together.

It will be my first blogging conference. Man, if my journalism professors could see me now. When I was in J-school, blogs didn’t exist and Google wasn’t even on our radar (we were taught to use ixquick to do all of our searches). But times change, the Internet evolves and we either decide to either get on board or get passed by. I, for one, plan to enjoy the ride.
