Acknowledgments

Adrienne: I am grateful to George Kelly for teaching me about blogs in 2000 and patiently answering my dumb questions and fixing my HTML mistakes. I could not have completed this book without the help of Melanie Spiller. I'm forever grateful for her kindness, generosity, and friendship. Finally, this book would not have been possible without my coauthor and friend, Peter Kuhns. I'm grateful to have such wonderful and talented friends.

Peter: Mary Alloway provided endless help and support during the painful "I know it's sunny, but I have to write" summer of 2005. Jim Fitzpatrick provided an expert-eye analysis of sports blogs. Adrienne has been a huge help researching this book and remains my dearest California connection.
