Question: What is the difference between a blog and a discussion group?
Answer:A blog features the ramblings, thoughts, tips, etc. of one person with comments contributed by people who come to the blog. A discussion group is essentially a place where any number of people can contribute to a discussion about some specific topic. One person might or might not control the contributions that are accepted in the discussion group, but the group is the contributor. In a blog, the individual is the primary contributor.
That is my short answer on that. -- John Kremer

Becoming a Book Reviewer
Question: I am looking for information on how I would go about becoming a book reviewer -- any suggestions to steer me in the right direction?
Answer: You become a book reviewer nowadays in two ways:
1. You work for a newspaper, magazine, or other media that wants you to review books.
2. You have an active web site where you review books that interest you and the people who visit your web site. This web site would need to be targeted at a specific group of people so you'd have enough traffic to interest book publishers who would send you review copies. -- John Kremer
