I know it's been a hot topic here before. The bottom line is they're different and always will be. Just as blogs are different than news sites are different than eZines. :) Deb, it’s nice to see you’ve come to closure on the Web vs Print topic. I know it’s been a hot topic here before.

They don't pay, but I loved getting a new batch of kids' books to review (and keep!) every month. If you are looking for a way to get review clips and have any background in teaching, education or kid lit, you might want to look them up. Re: Book Reviews

If I could figure out how much I've spent on books over the years, I'd probably find out I could of had a mountain cabin and a beach house to vacation in. Ann,

I was asked to review for Myshelf.com and did. After a few months, we both were asked to review books for a site that was about to open. Eventually, I grew tired of the site owner's opinion that only mystery and romance books were worth reviewing. I opened my own site after contacting publishers and authors with whom I'd developed a working relationship. They encouraged me to strike out and review a mix of genres, so I did. I've been reviewing for years now and while there still is no pay, just free books, the connections and friendships I've made are incredible. @Fiona – Back in 1999, a friend of mine and I started a reading group with Yahoo.

Less time/ complication = less pay. I don't mind that when I'm looking for a quick paycheck.

Actually some of the best stuff I ever read is from blogs. @Craig McNamara - I'm probably the worst typo offender ever but I agree we all need to make sure we proofread. I will disagree about blogs though- they're meant to be a more casual, less structured form of writing. That isn't to say bloggers shouldn't proofread, but they don't have to follow the AP format either. This wasn’t meant to be a post about why web writing sucks.
