The blog is really informative as well as useful. And to be honest - the google blog is more than corporate blog, which publish all the latest news about google and everything related to this SE. Every business should have a blog in order to inform the public whats new. It is a must these days. Nice post. The blog is really informative as well as useful.

He gets letters up there so quick, it's almost like moderating comments on a blog. Really, if you want to get technical, a blog is simply a publishing tool. But if folks are going to label something as a "blog" on a news site, I'm a believer that it should be something different that contains some interactivity with the author. For the purposes of a news site, a "blog" that's only a one-way conversation should just be placed wherever the columns are, because that's exactly what it becomes.

But that's not really true. Good blogging, real blogging is a conversation. That said, you don't need to have comments on your blog posts to have a conversation. Instapundit, for example, is a master at conversational blogging without comments. And I've seen many blogs with comments where the blogger is not engaging in conversation at all -- posting and ignoring subsequent comments.
