David Carr, business writer for the NY Times talks about his blog in 24-Hour Newspaper People - New York Times.

It is interesting that he talks about relationships and community. I have also felt this was a power of blogs. I have read, written, and met people I never would have had I not had a blog for the last several years.

Akin to this is the feed reader. My feed reader is more and more like my mail box. I go their periodically throughout the day and see what my friends are saying and often leave my comments (on their blog) or commentary (on mine, tracked back).

It is a great social tool.
