Blogs, blogs, everywhere a blog...

In line with Quang's post of this hilarious video below, there's this thorough (a.k.a. lengthy) examination of the evolution of blogs in the newsroom over at the American Journalism Review.

The article mentions that some newspaper staffers have been "blogging so madly that they began to slack on their other responsibilities."

The thing I'm finding with blogs is that I don't want to read most of them. I suppose my standards for wanting to read a blog are the same as for any other writing. Is it informing me? Is it interesting? Is it well-written? Is it funny?

On a side note there was this article in the New York Times recently about a man up in New Brunswick, Canada who was given journalistic credentials by the courts even though he only writes a blog. You may need Times Select membership to read the article. (Yeah, I subscribe to Times Select...you got a problem with it???)
