Quotes
"I've always thought of blogging and the web as a publishing platform that’s just like publishing in print or publishing on radio or even publishing on video. It's just a different set of tools and a different distribution mechanism. What's always really excited me about the web and excited me about blogs in particular is that it’s a very egalitarian medium."YouTube Video: Mahalo Daily interviews Wil Wheaton at Comic-Con 2008 (Time: 8:31) -
