The Talmud As The First Blog?

Jack Engelhard writes in Arutz Sheva:
The Talmud - again by the way - was the first blog. Those sages were bloggers. Sparkling wisdom throughout, but sometimes random riffs and asides (like today's Internet blogs), yet it all falls into place, distills, and somehow reaches marvelous coherence and finds the Source from which everything begins and ends. Shlomo was right. There is nothing new under the sun.
I don't really see the parallel. Perhaps a closer parallel would be a message board?
