Micro Persuasion: You Know the Blog Bubble Has Arrived When...
There's an interesting debate here. Will existing media companies just hire bloggers and suddenly become new media companies? I.e., the continuation of the old guard. Or, will new entrants be the ones to watch?

unmediated: Niche aggregators: that was fast!
"Thanks to Mayhem and Chaos for pointing out that while I've been proposing the idea of fine-sliced (niche) music aggregators, Audiolunchbox (and, presumably, CD Baby soon) has been building them."

Wikipedia improves Britannica
I assume Jimbo is referring to the the plan to have a "release 1.0" version of articles to serve as a standard reference, so at least you won't have to worry that when you link to an article on bosons, someone will go there during the ten minutes when it'

AJAX Good or Bad Part II (or What should publishers do with AJAX?)
However, aside from making commenting faster I’ve yet to find an amazing AJAX idea out there for blog publishers.

AJAX bad for publishers, good for users?
In my mind if you’re running a webservice like DIGG, Flickr, or email AJAX is great, if you’re a publisher it’s too soon to start giving away 10-20% of your revenue—right?

Ajax Archive Drop Downs
With this tutorial, I'll take that one step further and use AJAX such that when you select an archive, rather than redirecting to the corresponding archive page, the appropriate posts will just replace those currently shown.

Jon Udell: A progress report on InfoWorld's del.icio.us experiment
Now that InfoWorld's experiment with del.icio.us tagging has been running for a while, it's a good time to step back and assess how things are going.

The Observer Blog
This looks like an interesting application of folksonomy, and he will be releasing plugins for MT. Something to watch.

Ben Hammersley has built a newspaper weblog with folksonomy. Wow! I wonder if it will fit with Thomas Vanderwal will approve.

About The New York Times: Deep Into Web 2.0 Now
The NY Times bought About. The key thing is About's ability to generate revenue from blog content. They are doing very well on paid click throughs.

The Future of Newspapers
An insightful commentary on how newspapers could raise their ad revenues online. He recommends ad targeting and opening the archives. Makes sense, but I wonder if newspapers will ever let loose of the archives.

Digital Web Magazine - News - Show me the content!

Are newspapers dead?
This is a question of scale not personal experience. The question is to what extent a large portion of people are getting their news online. The revenue model for newspapers is a concern.

All News Sites Will Become Aggregators
Not clear to me that news goes over to branded readers. Value is in exclusive access to content, editorial control, and archival access. What is the relationship between these components?

Media Sites as News Portals?
A notion that news aggregation could be equivalent to publishing. In a way, aggregation is not structuring and editing.

Questions from Susan Mernit
Will publishing turn into branded feedreaders? Perhaps with suggested sources of content. This actually makes some sense. Charge for packaging, easy on-ramp, and indepdence from online aggregators.

John Battelle's Searchblog: Latest Business 2.0 Column: Tom Glocer, Reuters
Reuters is moving to a web business model. I wonder if they will do podcasts? Makes sense as a move, but lots of work needed on that front.

The Guardian on Gates, Google and the battle for the way we think.
With search engines dominating navigation, their algorithms necessarily bias what we view. This in turn alters our perceptions. Is there search diversity out there? Where is the easy-to-use metaservice? Would this be allowed by the main engines?

seattlepi.com Buzzworthy: Brands of one
Extremely thought-provoking. How does one step back from blogging? Many people just blog as they will. I think getting caught up in the competitive rat race, believing you are new media etc., leads to burnout.

US local ads to boom
A 46% rise in online spending is unbelievable. How many people actually do that much looking online? It may be that online responsiveness is better when targeted, and online targeting is easier.

Media transparency: A ZDNet experiment
The interesting assertion, at the end, is that companies will lose from their blogging efforts if they are not transparent. I like the specification of when blogging will not work.

Slasdot debates the future of internet news
The author tries to suggest that Google adsense is paying for blogs. Which blogs? It would appear that advertising revenue cannot itself support blogs. Can blogs with no revenue model, even, become media?

So, will weblogs be aggregated by new media giants? Or, will they remain fragmented as the author suggests.
