Blogs Have Changed

Here is Bill Hobbs, circa 2003: HobbsOnline

Here he is today: BillHobbs.com - Political punditry and blog-journalism from Nashville.

I guess the focus really is the content and if a "citizen" (read: not Big Media) can make money while putting forth opinion and "news", that's good with little old Capitalist me.

Still, there's something about a little bit of commentary surrounded by ads ads ads ads ads ads that makes BillHobbs.com no longer a "blog". There is something in between a blog, like our site and Right Thinking and Drumwaster, and, say CNN.com. That's where sites like Bill Hobbs' are. I guess the line is crossed when the site has its own tax return. It's more like MiniMedia than blog.
