Every major media company now has “blogs” does that mean all media companies are now blogging companies?

I do agree that just a few qualify as bloggers but if you ask me TechCrunch even if it has 21 employees it’s still a blog, and not just for the chronological thread of stories. It allows people to comment and that is what a blogger is about : interacting with its readers.

I agree however with Shoemoney and the others

I agree with you for the most part. I think they still call them blogs because of the chronological thread of stories. However, I think you’re right in pointing out a good number of the bloggers didn’t make their money blogging as that slideshow would have the uninitiated believe. Agood number of them leveraged existing traffic and reputation to their blogs which are more of a sideline business.

I think they should have dug deeper to find more of the ones who do blogging exclusively at home in underwear with no life and big bucks… lol

further to your point, TechCrunch announces today that it has acquired InviteShare. Blogs don’t “acquire” other companies!

Exactly. It really gets up my nose the way the newspapers now have what they call “blogs” – when in reality they are just columns. I do occasional (unpaid) pieces for The Sydney Morning Herald blog “Radar” (not even going to bother linking to it). I started doing them two or three years ago when they only had a couple of “blogs”. But now they have umpteen-dozen. The front page proudly announces “All our blogs”. And they are written by full-time journalists. Thing is, what we were blogging about two years ago was often ahead of what they’d have in the front section. Dumb bastards still just pull stuff off the wire – Reuters, AAP – give it a snappy headline and re-run it in its entirety – “The Dumbing Down of the Media”.

“The day you incorporate is the day your site stops being a “Blog” and becomes a Media Company. ”

Huh? Silly. We call it a “blog” (aka a fancy web 2.0 word) for practical reasons so as to give context and definition to what it is. Likewise with labels like “social networks”, “dating sites”, etc. Who cares if it is for profit, a hobby by one or more guys/gals or incorporated. TechCrunch is a “blog”, Plenty of Fish is a “dating” site and both are online businesses.

Word.
