Last week I chatted with Jenn Rouse from the Corvallis Gazette Times. We talked about weblogs, what they mean, my time at Blogger, a site I run called ORblogs, and where weblogs may be headed. When she mentioned to her editors that she was going to do a story on "blogging", they said, "what specifically about logging?" So it seems there's still some work to do to get people to understand what weblogs are.

As research for her article she started her own weblog—Jen's Notes—with Blogger to see how it all works. One of her first posts, Interview with pb, summarized some things we talked about that didn't make it into her article. (A great reason journalists should keep weblogs on the side—more depth!) Her article about weblogs should be in Sunday's Gazette-Times.
