\t\t\t\t— Bay Guardian Lit – May 2002<\/a> reviews Rebecca Blood’s blog books:<\/p>\n

Nothing like publishing books on allegedly “hot” new technologies to make those technologies jump eagerly into the ashcan of history. So let’s raise our bottles of caffeinated fruit soda to Perseus Books for publishing two new books (forthcoming in July) on the latest neato thing the kids are playing with: blogs! Both are projects of Rebecca Blood, apparently a “famous” blogger, and are cunningly titled We’ve Got Blog: How Weblogs Are Changing Our Culture and The Weblog Handbook: Practical Advice on Creating and Maintaining Your Blog. How nice. Precisely the sorts of things that someone who identifies herself in flap copy as a “freelance web-development consultant” would write. We can practically hear the sound of exploding brains as they splatter against a thousand bloggers’ computer monitors. Maybe it’s time to go back to reading the newspaper. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n
