Blogs v. lists, chez Shanna Compton: "here we may edit, revise, repost, while there once you hit send you're screwed."

And even more interesting:

And I would just never email a poem I wrote to a bunch of strangers. I don't particularly like it when I get them, especially when the sender asks two days later: Why didn't anyone comment? I want feedback! I feel on the spot. Put upon. Can't I direct my own reading? Can't you by choosing to visit me here? Just like I choose you?

But you, you aren't strangers.
