Perhaps the error is mine, I forget that although this is a “personal” project of yours, that in fact, it’s also a professional one - and let’s face it - the MSM as you describe them are more important that the blog world when it comes to your clients. So perhaps I need to remind myself about the lens through which you view blogging and are blogging. What irks me somewhat is the polarity you appear to be interested in defending and promoting - the either/or positioning of MSM and blogging…assuming that this is in fact real - it’s a construct of the people who have most to “lose” by associating with blogging i.e. your clients and the media in general.

“Don’t get caught up in the hype though, sometimes our close knit community can be far too insular.”

I would go some of the distance with you on that one - but you forget, the blogging community is not bounded by geographical borders….unlike PR firms who have the local and national in their sights, bloggers in general have a much biggger vista in front of them.

Further thinking is always good.

Quick fact check though-
