dispatches from the new world of work

The Blog Establishment

"The Blog Establishment" is the title of New York magazine's cover story this week (February 20). Associated articles include: "Ranking The Top 50" (BoingBoing is no. 1, Andrew Sullivan no. 50), "The Traffic Racket," "Blogonomics." There's a nice timeline of Blog history, starting with Links.net, the first Blog ever, created in 1994 by Swarthmore student Justin Hall. For me, at least, the article was fun and informative.

Thanks Tom - wonder though who has time for so much blog activity - 25 mins. / day seems to be my limit - do love digs to the likes of Al Gore though.

You were not the only one that enjoyed the article, apparently the blogosphere has exploded with links to the article. Now would be a good opportunity to launch the New York Magazine Blog!

Hi Tom

It is a good article indeed.

Here in Brazil we got a recent publication in a business magazine about blogs.

I was impressed with the article.

And great blog of yours.

My best regards.

The problem is that once blogging becomes mainstream; hip; cool; and (gasp!) popular, it loses its reason for existence. The early blogging community will be on to something new in short order.
