Particularly enjoyed this quote:
"All this fits with the trend toward Opinion TV. Less and less of our information flow is devoted to gathering facts, and more and more is going toward popularizing opinion. Twenty-four-hour news channels have been replaced by 24-hour opinion channels. The chatter is the story."
Also, I had no idea that many people considered blogging their primary profession. I was under the impression it was more like 1000 tops.
- jimbokun 18y ago"452,000 of those using blogging as their primary source of income." Yep, I was surprised to see a number that large for "primary source of income." I can believe that 20 million people tried blogging one or two posts then gave up, but half a million people making their living this way is a significant occupation.
