It cuts out all the waffle and just lets you get on with the point you want to make without having to wade through loads of descriptions about the stuff that's gone before. I guess blogs feels more like a "3D" experience than the "flat" experience of consuming stuff in print. Suddenly the things you read and write about exist in the context of tons of other stuff which, in turn, exist in their own contexts too. The ability to follow different chains of thought, to contribute to a conversation and to watch how one opinion or insight can impact on a whole bunch of other things too really differentiates blogging from print journalism.

Professional writers who trade on the value of their words often find it incredibly hard to adapt to the medium. They’re locked into a particular style that serves their purpose, be it journalism’s Inverted Pyramid and short paragraphs or the structure of an academic essay.

This makes it easier to monitor lots of blogs from one place. An example you might be familiar with is your Facebook News Feed aggregating all your friends' activities into one place, so you don't have to visit all their individual profiles. I'd recommend <a href="http://google.com/reader" rel="nofollow">google.com/reader</a> or <a href="http://www.bloglines.com" rel="nofollow">bloglines.com</a>.
