While I love the medium, I've always been skeptical about the value of blogs as businesses.

I don't really mind playing tabloid monster. I always liked those characters in the old movies.

Google demotes search results that don't get clicked on.

Publishing should be a collaboration between authors and their smartest readers - and at some point the distinction should become meaningless.

Forget about someone's resume or how they present themselves at a party. Can they blog or not? The blog doesn't lie.
