The term "blog" wasn't coined until 1999 and yet by 2004, it had become  Merriam-Webster's Word of the Year. Globally, the number of blogs is  doubling every six months, with more than 50 million blogs online  today. Here to offer a unique overview of the emerging phenomenon that  even armchair observers will find curiosity-satisfying is Dispatches from Blogistan: A Travel Guide for the Modern Blogger.     Filled with practical, easy-to-implement advice for making blogging  more enjoyable, useful, and profitable, this book covers everything  from blogging and how it fits into the history of journalism to  practical tips for planning and managing a blog, attracting and  retaining an active readership. Written by noted technology journalist  and interactive media veteran Suzanne Stefanac, the book  features a fresh and succinct approach; quotes and commentary from  noted and celebrity bloggers (author/futurist Bruce Sterling, NPR  commentator Farai Chideya, Craig Newmark of craigslist.com, and Cory  Doctorow, Boing Boing editor and science fiction author, among others);  an accompanying blog site (dispatchesfromblogistan.com); and more.  Stefanac explores issues of trust, influence, privacy, discovery, and  the power of collaborative discourse, making this is a blog book like  no other!
