The more you have going on in real life, the harder it is to create content.

I think Michael also makes a good point. People have to spend time on things that pay. The one thing I think that blogs do well is reviewing/opinion articles and “How to” articles.

It sound to me like the media is realizing bloggers aren’t reporters. Well, DUH!

More often than not the mainstream media sources are behind the blockquote.

Even blogs like the Huffington Post doesn’t have the budget to do original reporting.

If the mainstream media is controlling the agenda do bloggers really matter? Who’s in control and who really has the power?

I know that’s a problem I have: I sometimes rather link to something than create my own thoughts.
