There are many reasons for this - two of the main ones are 1) search engines love text - blogging, by definition, promotes the continual addition of text to a site and 2) search engines love links - blogging also promotes linkage. As any good blogger knows - you always link to your sources in your post - this adds to the post’s credibility and it means that you are more likely to receive links from other posters when they post.

A number of years ago Craig Barrett said that soon there would be no more e-business (because all business would be e-business so the e would be redundant) - I think that is the kind of statement Jonathan meant.

Just because every CEO has a phone doesn't necessarily means he uses it. Sure enough it's a tool in his arsenal, but everyone communicates through different mediums in varying degrees.
