Well, does Myspace blogs count? lol. I don't really think I read much of onlilne publishing. I read some news on Yahoo, I watch some clips on Yahoo, ebaums, and youtube, but if I want to read a book I'll buy it. If I want to read a magazine I'll go to a bookstore. There's just something about turning the pages of a book while lounging in a bed or a couch that just seems... traditional. I think what might contribute to that feeling is the point that I grew up reading books out of... well... books. But I wonder if in this generation or in the next kids will grow up reading off the Internet and books will be things of the past. But I do use the internet for most of my needs. If I want to find something out, if I want to watch something, if I want to communicate, do research, one word. Internet.
“As I said just now, the world has gone past me. I don't blame it; but I no longer understand it. Tradesmen are not the same as they used to be, apprentices are not the same, business is not the same, business commodities are not the same. Seven-eighths of my stock is old-fashioned. I am an old-fashioned man in an old-fashioned shop, in a street that is not the same as I remember it. I have fallen behind the time, and am too old to catch it again.”
Charles Dickens

Yes, indeed, blogging is a publication. It is your words and ideas, posted in a public place for others to digest. Is a diary a publication if no one reads it? I suppose that it is, if the diary owner reads back their thoughts to themselves. With blogging, I think you are inviting others into the journaling world, and they make your thoughts more active with their comments.
