They need this practice of writing, editing, reading, and response prior to employment. I agree with Dennis about the necessary networking that blogging establishes for the student.

Links and comments (or at least links) are necessary to form the peer networks that create audienes, and the writing of comments and creation of links are are primarily constructive, rather than interpretive, actions.

Writing with the reader in mind entails a relationship, correct? And do we use this technolgy as a bridge or as a barrier? Hmm ... I think the goal is thinking itself - ah ha! Screenagers can do this quite well, but...

The basics of blogging require reader response, and that's what defines this "genre" more than anything else. But that little change in how you think about it does open up some other possibilities for instruction... I think you’re right, Tom.

In other words, more like reader response than composition. Not that either is right or wrong.
