If you can write a reasonably coherent response, as you did to Sonia's post, in thirty minutes, that can easily be a post for the day.

Blogging conversations don’t replace real conversations, but they’re great for getting out complex ideas that deserve more attention that the stuff that’s sitting on the top of our heads. And the big ideas are the ones that are really worth getting out of our heads.

Blogging is so not one-way – or at least, it doesn’t have to be. They’re not one way even in the cases where we think they’re one way, given how we get our ideas.

Just some ideas that come to mind…
