NY Times Says Weblogs Are A Fad
from the of-course-they-are dept
I guess the NY Times wants to win next year's "Bloggie Award" for best article about blogs. They've come up with another article about blogs saying absolutely nothing new, and suggesting that blogs are a fad. While it's sure to be linked, dissected, and trashed from various weblogs (if it hasn't already been), I still find it amusing to see how the mainstream media has been trying to get their head around the blog concept for so long. Update: Dan Gillmor responds as a professional journalist who has a weblog.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team

Blogs a Fad?
"Blog This", By Henry Jenkins
Since he asked us to do so, I suppose planting the URL here is legal.
