Are you an Academic? Why Are you Blogging?

Early in The Edge’s life, Rauchway answered the question, “Why Blog?” I was particularly struck by his fourth reason:
To change the profession: be the academic discourse you
want to see in the world. You want historiography to move quickly, have
relevance, be sharper? You can’t make it that way book review by book
review: but you can if you blog.
'nuff said.
