HW 14: Ito/Dento Transitionrama

In Nick Denton's interview, they ask him a question "Why do you prefer to hire unknown writers for your blog site rather than writers with track records?" (Kline 152) He responds with something that makes complete sense. For example, Denton would rather have unknown writers because professional writers don’t necessarily know how to write in blog format. Actually, Blogs are more down to earth and not as strict as professional writing. As a result of this interview, I agree with everything he said about blogging. After all, Denton said that weblogs are the number one source of internet as of today. Naturally, he would want the best writers for the job, the best ‘blog’ writers that is. Accordingly, Denton states that his blogs are growing every month about 20 percent, which is why he is so into his job. Furthermore he goes on to describe how everyone is talking about blogs, everyone is obsessed with this new form of information and they are calling it a phenomenon.
