However, it's not really what some folks wish Apple would do more of: blogs.msdn/weblogs.mozzillazine-style omphaloskepsis from developers about new features and underlying motives, with a chance for users to chime in publicly as well as shamelessly self-promote through ugly trackbacks like the one my glob just left (sorry about that). Personally, I respect Apple's closed style more than, for example, <a href="http://garmin.blogs.com/my_weblog/applemac/index.html" rel="nofollow">Garmin</a>'s, where I can't tell if they're well meaning but trying too hard, or just making sure they have all the marketing bases covered.

But Bill Bumgarner (one of many blogging Apple employees, ironically enough) welcomes a new Apple blogger that shouldn’t be overlooked.

It disseminates information the same way, and it's not worth getting into a squabble over semantics. That being said, I thought it was a fantastic essay, and I do hope to see more of its ilk in the future! I have no issues calling that feed a blog.
