August 26, 2004 The Evolution of Horatio Hornblogger Captain Ed is getting very mainstream. After recent media mentions in the Washington Times among others, and a bit in the Wall Street Journal today, Captain Ed has sold a blog post to the New York Sun. I remember when he was just a beginning blogger, still learning the ropes. I remember, because I was right there with him. Good work, Ed. Keep it up. This mainstream infiltration--for lack of a better term--is something that should be occurring more and more often among the better writers and researchers in the blogosphere. The media, and especially the more advocacy-journalism publications, have an amazing resource: hundreds of writers who do their research and publish for free. They could be picking up valuable opinion pieces and research like this, this and this for very little, indeed. They should, too. Those who don't will be left behind soon, wondering why they didn't see the freelance gold being published every day. |
Jon, I am sure your day will come,too. You guys are first rate and it is only a matter of time.

Thanks. I don't mean to single out just us, though. There are quite a few bloggers that deserve attention. Quite a few.

Thanks for the kind words -- and your friendship. The relationships have been the real payoff from blogging, IMHO.

That's been very true for me, too, Ed. Thank you.
