## What Jamie wrote

If Om Malik is writing about blogging I’m reading. Om made a career out of blogging and fundamentally impacted the trajectory of the blogosphere. I love his take and admiration for Hey World, and in general how he positions self-expression on the web.

> But ultimately, the truth is that it doesn’t matter how you express yourself. Discussions and worries about platforms and tools are distractions. CJ Chilvers is quite right when he says, “Publishing online is all about relationships.” Kevin Kelly, the legendary author and founding editor of Wired magazine, argues that 1,000 true fans are enough. I would say that even one is good enough.

> Hey World is all about blogging as a philosophy. It recognizes the inherent value in sharing and expression. It tips its hat to blogging’s past and focuses on its essence. If I were starting a newsletter today, it would be on the top of my list. 

I love that he gave a hat-tip to [CJ Chilvers](https://www.cjchilvers.com) too. I am a fan of his writing, and he's a Weekly Thing reader. 👋
