What is a blog?

From Who Let the Blogs Out? by Biz Stone:

A blog is a collection of digital content that, when examined over a period of time, exposes the intellectual soul of its author or authors. Blogging is the act of creating, composing, and publishing this content; and a blogger is the person behind the curtain. Part social software and part web building, blogging is peer-to-peer publishing—the future of our connected lives. (35)

Blogging does reduce, even eliminate, the role of ‘gatekeeper’ where knowledge is concerned. How can, and will, our schools deal with this shift?
