Blog > Book?
In many respects, YES! Why you ask? Well, here are some reasons: 
- Blogs can be read rapidly and repeatedly until the story or point is absorbed. The most intriguing books still take hours to read.
- Blogs are adaptable. The information on a blog can be updated weekly, daily, hourly or moment by moment. The information in a book is permanent. Once it is published, it cannot be taken back or drastically changed until it’s next printing.
- Blogs are of no charge to the reader.
- Anyone who has access to a computer (or phone for that matter) can blog. Getting published is simple…just click submit and away you go.
- You get multiple viewpoints on your topic of choice. Numerous blogs can be read easily and quickly. Reading books with differing biases is difficult and time consuming.
- The effective blogger can market to his niche or offer them a unique opportunity almost as soon as the idea enters his mind. There is no waiting for the New York Times to review your blog content and deem it worth while. If you have a desire to tell people something that you believe is worth sharing, there is no delay period while you wait for someone to tell you that it is worth sharing. Just Tell It!
- While “shopping” for which blogs to subscribe to, you don’t have to worry about being swayed by a flashly cover or a catchy title. You can judge the blog based on its content alone. Read a post or two. If you buy a book for its color and opening content, you may find that it doesn’t live up to your expectations halfway through. You can easily “return” the blog…just don’t link there anymore.
With all that said, I love to read books, but that’s for another blog post.
