# Welcome Dino, and a word about MSDN articles

By Roy Osherove November 28, 2003 In [.Net Original](https://osherove.com/blog/category/net-original), [Blogging](https://osherove.com/blog/category/blogging)

**Historical article** · Originally published November 28, 2003; technical details may be outdated.

[Dino Esposito](http://weblogs.asp.net/despos/) Has started a blog here on .Net weblogs ([rss](http://weblogs.asp.net/despos/Rss.aspx)). If you don't know who he is, I suggest you get acquainted with his work **real soon** as he is one of the finest authors I've ever read with cool solutions and examples.

It's funny. Having him blog here automatically makes me feel like I'm physically **closer** to him. Perhaps it's that feeling that he is much more accessible now through his blog that I can actually interact with him about stuff he just wrote a minute or two ago. That is truly the power of blogging. You automatically make yourself **much much** closer to your target audience and very interesting conversations can begin. You won't find that kind of added value in MSDN articles, I can assure you.

(I've heard that you can now leave comments on MSDN articles, or was it just ratings? in any case, The day MSDN articles become “interactive” - both readers and the author can write comments on the article in the same web space - I think we'll see a surge in knowledge gathering and communication like we havne't seen in a long long time)
