Just add to it that the style for a blog post is more unrefined than that of a journal paper. It's supposed to be faster to write. It gets you immediate feedback. It gets a conversation going. That's a completely different ballpark from the paper writing style. Hi Jenna,

I just posted a comment in your blog. Just add to it that the style for a blog post is more unrefined than that of a journal paper. It’s supposed to be faster to write.

As an academic and a blogger, I find the academic blogging community (of which there are hundreds to thousands of members) to be one of the most significant venues for serious, rigorous, and polished thinking.

I would love for you to take a look and comment! Wow–I really could not disagree more with the arguments in this post.
