If folks focus in on a niche and own it, there is a good chance they could make half a living from blogging.
Things that are interesting, people will pass around the Internet, around the world. And the blogosphere is only the tip of the iceberg.
The Internet has become a remarkable fount of economic and social innovation largely because it's been an archetypal level playing field, on which even sites with little or no money behind them - blogs, say, or Wikipedia - can become influential.
The constellation of opinion called the blogosphere consists, like the stars themselves, partly of gases. This is what makes blogs addictive - that is, both pleasurable and destructive: They're so easy to consume and so endlessly available.
I'm not sure blogs are necessarily the best place to get a pulse on anything. People want to blog for a variety of reasons, and that may or may not be representative.
Blogs are the main exception I make in my aversion to complex machinery.
There are 100 million blogs in the world, and it's part of my job as the co-founder of WordPress to help many more people start blogging.
Much of the lifeblood of blogs is search engines - more than half the traffic for most blogs.
It turns out that social networks drive a heck of a lot of traffic to blogs.
When you look at things like Flickr and Youtube, they are specialised blogging systems, so why hasn't blogging encompassed that ease of functionality?
