What an awful article!

He started off talking about how he doesn't have enough time to review a plethora of news sources, and finished with a how-to on "blogging," a very time intensive activity....

I would agree. This is one of the most poorly written things I've read on SF to date.

What did this have to do with security anyway? It seems like you could replace "security" with "rutabega" and you'd get the same idea.

I think that professionals following the advice on "blogs" are about the last thing the security community needs.

Most of these blogs are run by individuals, making the information presented no more credible than an alt.flame thread on NetNews.

Actually, I'm anxious to see part 2. Sure, this could be applied to almost any subject, but it can be applied to Security.

Who doesn't benefit from information from their peers? The trick is picking the right blog to read. And some of you are missing the point that this can be used for news f...

And one could argue that SF is a blog already...

I believe the author missed a potential use for blogs and similarly postings on support newsgroups. That would be in the pen-testing and information gathering.
