HW 16b: The Five Pillars
Robert Scoble is interviewed about the five pillars the made blogging so popular. He explains why really simple syndication is so important.

The first pillar discussed is "ease of publishing": blogs need to be simple for people to navigate them properly. The second is "discoverability". How easy is it for people to find your blog?
