It's social media in slow motion since readers' comments are not printed right away, unlike social media where your comments appear in almost real time. And, like social media, comments have to be approved by the moderator (for web) and editor (for newspaper). So, there are similarities with the main difference being speed and availability.

After seeing everyone in action at Blog World Expo '08, it's obvious that the Blogosphere is all about collaboration and helping each other succeed. How awesome!
