Blogging Hits Crossroads: A-Listers Giving Up
- pg 18y agoWhat a non-story. Dan Lyons can't make money at blogging (not a big surprise), so he gives up. Mike Arrington, who does make money, takes a vacation, and this guy describes it as if he's quitting. There is no pattern here.
- jasonlbaptiste 18y agoYeah, they're also failing to ignore a few other important factors: What about other bloggers like Darren Rowse, Perez Hilton,etc.? Seems like the article is portraying the story as either you have to make 5k a year or 200k a year. That clearly isn't the way it works. What about a ton of the other networks that have done well or even more individual blogs. Gothamist blogs, b5 media, etc. Glam media is doing insanely well. I also wouldn't equate Dan Lyons' efforts to that of Mike Arrington.
