Are Blogs Really like Talk Radio?

When I was out cutting the grass, tonight a thought occurred to me. Blog are really very much like talk radio.

I mean, what is the difference between a blog and talk radio? In talk radio, someone gets on the radio and pontificates over the airwaves. People call in and give their thoughts and reaction to what the radio host is saying.

In a blog, someone pontificates in his blog. People read what he writes and post their comments to his blog. There is a difference in the medium, blogs can show pictures and give video and audio, but the basic mechanism is the same.

Where am I wrong here?
