Bruce Schneier

Known for his blog, "Schneier on Security", Bruce Schneier is an influential blogger who first made his start in 1998 in the field of internet security. Being a blogger I'm sure most people would comment as to what makes Schneier's blog different from any of the others. For starters the daily view count of his blog is over 200,000 per day with over 95,000 of those being unique visitors. Having access to this many minds on a daily basis is what takes Bruce's blog from a hobby to a profession.

While he doesn't make any money directly from his blog it has contributed to opportunities for him such as public speaking and further support for his books. Bruce for the most part despite the overwhelming popularity of his blog is still a very down to earth blogger. He writes for the most part about anything he wants and is still very open to reader comments.

When asked how he reacts to reader emails and comments, Bruce touched on the fact that he makes an attempt to read and respond to all especially ones pointing out typos. However, most emails he receives are readers who want him to touch on a subject which he often times he does not have time to do.

Schneier's blog has been ranked at high as 100 on Technorati but usually will sit in the top 120. Bruce Schneier appears to be a very reachable and un-molded blogger who uses his freedom as speech to express his viewpoints on internet security.
