Weekend Edition Saturday
I'm on NPR's Weekend Edition Saturday, discussing the State of the Blogosphere report. On Thursday I went down to the studios at KQED here in San Francisco, and chatted with host Scott Simon for about 10 minutes.
As of this writing, NPR has put up a permalink to the interview, but haven't put up the link to the audio itself - I believe that the audio will go up at 1PM EST. UPDATE: You can now listen to the audio, in Real or Windows Media formats.
I'm a HUGE NPR fan (it is basically the only live radio I listen to anymore), and it was very exciting and a bit surreal to put on the headphones in the sound-proof booth and talk with Scott. Being such an NPR fan, I was really nervous. I hope they edited the interview well, and that I was of service to you - helping to make the blogosphere a bit more understandable to folks who don't already know about it...

It was your line about the rebirth of civics. Then they said who it was, and I said "Cool!" :-)
Congrats on getting on NPR!

ABRAZO VIRTUAL
I heard the NPR interview and found it fascinating that 175,000 new blogs are creted every day. That's an incredible number of people. But keeping up the blog is the big struggle. You mentioned a55% are still being updated after 3 months. After three months I had to take a break, it was consuming me, I was not getting any work done. I plan to go back but at a slower place. Thanks for your great service!
