  • When blogging was young, enthusiasts rode high, with posts quickly skyrocketing to the top of Google's search results for any given topic, fueled by generous links from fellow bloggers. In 2002, a search for "Mark" ranked Web developer Mark Pilgrim above author Mark Twain. That phenomenon was part of what made blogging so exciting. No more. Today, a search for, say, Barack Obama's latest speech will deliver a Wikipedia page, a Fox News article, and a few entries from professionally run sites like Politico.com. The odds of your clever entry appearing high on the list? Basically zero.
  • Further, text-based Web sites aren't where the buzz is anymore. The reason blogs took off is that they made publishing easy for non-techies.
  • Twitter — which limits each text-only post to 140 characters — is to 2008 what the blogosphere was to 2004.
  • And Twitter posts can be searched instantly, without waiting for Google to index them.

  •  
    This interview with the founder of Talking Points Memo describes the process of his nutty personal blog became respected "independent media."

Whatever you think of him, Matt Drudge made his bones by breaking the Monica Lewinsky scandal.

  •  
    Tim O'Reilly and others have called for codes of conduct in the blogosphere, and this is some of what that call has yielded. My problem with it, however, is that it seems to be very, very general -- which is a great starting point, but individual blogs may have other things come up.
