Blogging for dollars, fame and FUN.

What is it about the future that leaves us unable to ever quite guess how it's going to turn out? The question comes up, this time, because of the recent, much discussed ascent of Web logs, or blogs.
The blogging phenomenon illustrates how some very smart people ended up being both very right and very wrong about a future just beyond the horizon.

A year ago, blogs -- outside of the small circle of people who actually wrote and read them -- were regarded as the daily diaries of people with no real lives to chronicle in the first place. No more.
Think, for instance, of how much has been written lately about the role of blogs in the presidential election campaign..
Blogs are noteworthy because of what they reveal about the evolution of something called XML.
Five or so years ago, XML was going to be technology's Next Big Thing.
XML was the catalyst that would enable .Net, and with it, a new generation of remarkable Web services.
XML, in its first incarnation, didn't go away, it also didn't make for any sort of Internet revolution,.
RSS, it turns out, is actually a kind of XML.

Because of blogging, RSS is very hot right now, and it's spreading quickly.
Many newspapers, use RSS as an additional method of making their content available online.
In other words, thanks to blogs, XML -- in the form of RSS -- has finally arrived.

Who Are You? Blogger, Designer, Coder, or Internet Entrepreneur?
If you are going to live your dream, outsourcing and capitalizing on all that the internet has to offer, you must know yourself as an internet entrepreneur.

You may start your journey blogging for adsense dollars and text-link-ads, but you’ll find that you want to make better use of your time.
If that is so look at:
J.R.'s Seeds For Wealth

What is it all about?
His business model is very simple.
Think of bloggers as journalists.
Think of the Net as a big newspaper.
What makes bloggers interesting is that they'll print what journalists won't because they don't have editors telling them they're crossing a line!
I like reading bloggers - it makes life interesting.
Clearly bloggers are not held to the same standards as journalists and to include them in something like a Net Newspaper dilutes the *ahem* reputation that journalists have.
In many cases, companies and politicians share information off the record with journalists - and that relationship is maintained because journalists know they'll lose access if they break confidence.
Bloggers just don't give a shit and will "print" anything they want, rarely holding back sensitive information.
Journalists think blogging makes everyone one of them, but not everyone wants to be a journalist.
AS BLOGS become big business, Internet giants have begun trying to profit from the new forms of journalism.
So why not profit out of it?
How?
Building a Network of Bloggers, like a newspaper (embracing not only news but everything which involves the Internet, including advertisement)with a sort of independent journalists.
In the end:
Good blogging is good journalism. Bad blogging is spending all day writing about your cats...
