NY Times blog editorial

Today's New York Times online has an interesting, yet short and uneventful, editorial about blogs and the blogosphere. The editorial discusses a recent report by Technorati on the State of the Blogosphere. Basically the report does have some very staggering and impressive numbers, such as "A new blog is created about every second, there are over 80,000 created daily," which the New York Times notes. The editorial also states that blogs are important because "media outlets are creating blogs - or bloglike manifestations - of their own." unfortunately that is where the editorial stops. It doesn't at all try to deal with the implications blogs will have on the future of news. It just sort of says, yeah they're important and people like 'em. This might as well have been news content buried in the tech section, instead of an editorial. Anyways it is an interesting read just for the numbers.
