Blogging or Plugging? (Now, that is the question!)

Blogging has not only opened gateways for the everyday person to talk to the world, but, celebrities have also found themselves at good use of this form of communication. This, then allows them to create a more personal and straightforward conversation with you and !. You know, to tell us of their problems, and everyday events. However, this also allows them to plug in their personal agendas.

A recent example of this is Google co-founder, Sergey Brin, who has started a blog. In the blog, he tells of being at risk for Parkinson's Disease, and then he also uses his blog to plug his wife's genetic testing start-up firm. This is the link to the blog, for anyone who is interested: http://too.blogspot.com/

This led me to question, can blogging be considered more successful or useful than actually going through the trouble of paying millions of ad dollars?
