Blog and get paid. No, this is not a cheesy ad.
Wired says this
By Eli Milchman|
Dollar signs went off in the blogosphere Wednesday as blog pioneer and recent Netscape recruit Jason Calacanis offered up to $1,000 a month to woo volunteer posters away from popular reader-generated link sites like Digg and Reddit.
If getting paid is what would motivate you to blog, you're probably coming in too late for this particular Netscape offer. It's looking for established bloggers.
But Netscape's move is interesting, nonetheless. It came about the same day that the Pew Center released a report about whether bloggers consider themselves journalists, a sore point amongst many people I know. Surprise: most of them don't. Of course, some ARE journalists in the traditional sense, and others have won legal standing as journalists.
Now, my day would be perfect if blogger.com would eliminate all those blogs started when someone had a thought and never followed through. You know, those blogs with one posting (or none) that are more than a year old and never got around to adding so much as a link.
