Along with discussing his methods, Ye also unveiled the site's responsible for many of his postings.

"I might [blog for] two hours in a day, it might be fifteen minutes in a day," Ye said in an interview. "I have two people that I hired and I tell them exactly what I want -- it's just like how a designer would work. I tell them, you know, Surface magazine, Wallpaper, Architectural Digest, Hypebeast, Bossip -- go to these different blogs and keep on pulling information. And then they send it to me, and I get like 80 e-mails, and I have to check and go through them. And sometimes I'll have my own stuff where I'll just be in a cool place, like if I had my camera right now, I'd like photograph this stuff and go home and be really excited to blog it." (New York Magazine)
For a time, Ye refused to speak to media outlets other than his blog and has built an online following as a means to speak to his fans directly.
"Oh, hey world. As you can see, I'm in Paris, chilling -- due to the transactions early this week, I have some very, uh, grim news," West said in a video while in Paris. "I know I've been called the Louis Vuitton Don, I know, I've been called a lot of names, uh mostly The Don, the Louis Vuitton Don -- due to what happened -- when the red shoes hit the runway, I was forced to change my name, to, Martin Louis The King, Jr. Address me as such. And until then, I will be in the building, swagger on a hundred thousand trillion." (Kanye Blog)
Despite its popularity, Ye was questioned last summer after reports of a ghost blogger emerged.
Sure Kanye wrote that one outburst on his blog, but no, he doesn't find all those neat gadgets or post those videos and photos from the road. Someone else does all that for him. That someone else is Marcus Troy, Kanye's "Ghost Blogger" - a term Marcus coined to describe the service he provides for a few celebrity blogs. If you ask Marcus whether he ghost writes for Kanye, of course he'll deny it. Because that's what ghost writers do: they stay in the cut while giving others the glory. (Sandra Rose)
However, West later debunked these rumors.

This led gossip blogger Sandra Rose to posit that Troy was actually Kanye's ghost blogger, a theory that I suspect she came up with in part because Troy is into posting results of cool-hunting expeditions like the man he's supposedly writing for. Kanye, needless to say, was not pleased by the allegations, throwing up a post titled "I DON'T KNOW WHO THE H*LL THIS IS... BUT I COVERED HIS NAME AND FACE SO HE WOULDN'T GET THE PUB HE WAS OBVIOUSLY LOOKIN' 4!" that was full of whited-out pictures of Troy and blogging-action shots. (Idolator)

Yeah, and not only that, but a lot of times when I've posted something, the next day, Ye does the same video. LOL
Kanye needs 3 new staff members, and I need a job and money, plus, he is HIRING AND FIRING! ROFL
And I'm a god typist and type with the correct fingers. And, uh, let's see, what else... my two co-workers and I would like lunch with our boss at least once a week. Uh, um... I'll never be LATE... I'm not HEARTLESS... And, well, if you have further questions, you can contact me at... LOL
Actually, this similar thing was posted about a week ago online, and I put a link about it then, but it's interesting that that's how he does it. I think I noted that I knew he couldn't do it alone.

Technology Cracking The Case: Who Is Kanye’s Blog Ghostwriter?
Past and future (it’s coming soon!) cover subject Kanye West told NYMAG yesterday that he hired two writers to help him out on his blog on a daily basis. Shocker Alert? Not so much. We know that between photoshoots, fashion shows, and um—lest we forget—being one of the best rappers and producers in hip-hop, it isn’t possible that ‘Ye’s been logging on for a full day’s work of blogging so regularly.
The question now is, who are these mystery people that are cool hunting furniture, kicks and chicks for Mr. West? Although we haven’t received confirmation from anyone, we’ve got a few guesses about who might know their way around Martin Louie the King Jr.’s Wordpress. Read on for our 5 (comedic) guesses on who’s getting the job done…
1. MARCUS TROY
• There has been a lot of speculation that Canadian-based tastemaker Marcus Troy is in fact Kanye’s ghost-writer. The alert level rose just last week when Troy posted pictures of himself fondling the first colorway of the Yeezy’s, which were only gifted to people in the Kanye West inner circle, like manager/paparazzi camera-smasher Don C. and hair consultant Ibn Jasper. MT hasn’t confirmed that he’s the valedictorian of Kanye University, but a lot of people feel he’s the front runner.
2. JOSH SPEAR
• When it comes to cool hunting, Josh Spear’s site www.joshspear.com claims to be a staple, and to give credit where it’s due, it was one of the first. Like West, Spear posts odd things like umbrellas and other things normal males would have trouble locating and purchasing. Unlike Mr. West, Spear has average Internet “influencer” taste. *Shots*. Hahaha see you at the next TED.
3. DIGGY SIMMONS
• Take one look at Rev. Run’s son’s website, aptly titled “Life Of A Jet Setter,” and it’s evident that the brother of Team Blackout’s front man could be Kanye’s blogger-for-hire. We’re pegging the pint-sized Simmons for his suspect (and crazily similar) headlines like “What ever floats your boat” for the Sperry x Band Of Outsider boat shoes and “SIMPLY DOPE!” to describe LED Shower Doors
4. HIROSHI FUJIWARA
• Sure he’s a style general, but adding lightning bolts and choosing all black for every collaborative project he gets involved with allows Hiroshi ample time to do nothing all day. He’s the face of Honyee, so you know he can work a computer terminal, and “HF” kicks it inside design headquarters all over the world. The dude has access. Wait, hold on! What if Jeff Staple is ghostwriting Hiroshi’s posts that he ghostwrites for Kanye? Blogspot triangle madness.
5. KEVIN MA, HYPEBEAST
• How many times in the last few months has Kanye said he’s the walking Hypebeast? Several. So if that’s really true, could the mystery blogger be Kevin Ma? The founder/EIC of Hypebeast is a walking Hypebeast (if A then B). Is Kevin using Kanye’s site to promote his own? Are we looking at a content share deal here? Hmm.
WHO DO YOU THINK KANYE’S BLOG GHOSTWRITER IS?
