Link of the Day

I just really got into blogging recently, and I didn’t realize there was so much stuff worth reading out there. Still, I noticed I don’t link that often to other people’s blogs. To remedy that, I’m now going to try and pick a post from a blog each day as my link of the day. Instapundit is disqualified because everyone reads him anyway.

Today, John Hawkins’s interview with Daniel Pipes was big news, but everyone already linked to that. Also, there is a big debate at DailyPundit on Bill Quick’s decision to start posting at a the pay only Blogging Network. But, from the looks of the comments section, everyone has already read about that. Personally, I’m too new to blogging to have an opinion, but I myself am not a professional writer (like that isn’t obvious) and am thrilled just to be read by anyone at all. I will mention that I have crossed the line and paid for internet content at ign.com (I like me videogames); I liked the idea of having special access to things other people can’t read. I don’t think I can go on and keep paying for tons of different individual sites, though, so if lots of places go pay, I hope I can suscribe to a suite of sites just like you get a bunch of channels with your cable TV subscription. Oh, I guess I do have an opinion.

Oh, yeah, link of the day. The link of the day is Joanne Jacobs’s post about blogging for money and her ambivalence about the Blogging Network. It’s a bit of a downer to people hoping to blog for cash, but it’s definitely worth a read.
