The first pillar is ease of publishing. This is stating that publishing blogs is very easy and self explainitory. Publishing a blog is much easier that publishing a book pursay. This will make more people want to become professional bloggers due to having to know only very little knowledge of the process. This is also a more inexpensive way for people to have their voices heard.
The second pillar is discoverability. This allows other larger services discover the wonders of the blogosphere. It helps them maintain a status on the latest blogs and also may create a little competition between the two. Discovering new things on the web may also be exciting for people as well as creating tension for others.
The third pillar is cross-site conversations. This is a way for people on different networks or websites to collide their ideas and contrast them. It allows people to see what other opportunities are out on the web and it also is a good way to communicate with people using different publishing sites (such as myspace, facebook, etc.).
The fourth pillar is permalinking. On some of the blogs in the web, there may be URL's leading to other sites. This is an advantage for people to be open-minded and to see what else is out there. Having the opportunity to do this is incredible, because primarily people are usually very competitive and do not want people to view other sites. They assume that it will take viewers away from their site and promote them to the others.
The last but not least pillar is syndication. This started back in the '90's, but it was not as important as in today's society. Syndication allows people to view numerous amounts of sites. It is a very easy thing to upload (or download) to your computer. No one has to reveal any personal information about themselves and the folder organizes itself.

Renee, this post is nice and organized, very readable. The only suggestions I'd make are relatively minor:
Say what the reading is--give the title of the chapter, cite the pages it appears on, and explain that Richard Scoble came up with the five pillars.
Leave out "In this reading I came across many different importances of blogging." Go right to your point.
Read what you've written out loud to yourself before posting it to see if it sounds like something you'd really say. If not, revise it until it is something you'd really say.
