Spot-On

A few weeks ago, sage and experienced journalist that I am, I predicted a raft of Big Media stories about the "death of blogging." I thought they'd show up mid-month and picked the New York Times business section to carry the harbingers of doom.

Silly me. The first "wither Blogging" story has already appeared in Business Week. Here's the question the story doesn't answer:

But can the blog business survive without a Presidential election and gaffes by mainstream media firing up the Internet masses? Skeptics wonder, particularly since some blog sites damaged their credibility when they jumped the gun and erroneously predicted Senator John Kerry would win the election.

Here's the sad part: They're just getting started.
