selling the blogosphere
By alice | November 1, 2005
You may have heard about Pajamas Media , the new super-bloggers club for the Glenns and Manolos of this world. Jeff Jarvis has been wondering what it’s all about, and says he doesn’t get it.
Pajamas says:
On November 16th, 2005 Pajamas Media will launch a new publishing medium that brings together some of the top online influencers and personalities, under one banner, to help evolve and expand journalism. In essence, this new media company will create a network hub for bloggers around the world in what will be one of the world’s first online forums for citizen journalism and commentary.
Jeff says:
I thought all that was what we call blogs.
Maybe. It doesn’t seem that conservative commentary has been at the money-spinning end of the blogosphere so far. But on the other hand, lots of heads can be better than one. Blogging is all about the power of the unrestricted individual voice, but it is also all about sociable things like sharing, linking and gathering together in campaigns. I definitely can’t see anything wrong with whatever Pajamas’ idea is, so far. And it will definitely be very interesting to see where it goes.

I think some bloggers, especially conservative ones might have a bit of disdain for the ‘group’ blogs…more control has to be exerted over who says what. After seeing a bill preventing the application of the McCain-Feingold bill to bloggers struck down in Congress, am wondering if this isnt just teh beginning of the MSM starting to collect under its umbrella the blogger frontier.
I know that sounds paranoid now that I have typed it out, and what you talked about is only for an entertainment venue, but I am still burning with anger over what just happened. One thing leads to another…
Best regards,

I’m starting to think there’s safety in numbers, and bloggers are better off getting together than being owned by AOL. We shall see.
