They're everywhere these days. Last year it was "The Year of the Blog". Last week Jon Stewart had a whole 8 min (1/3) of his show dedicated to blogging. Now, CNN is discussing the blogging software that I used to use, LiveJournal, and how it got bought out by Moveable type. Supposed to be a win/win situation, everyone seems happy by the deal. And its a cute story, the husband/wife team who founded Moveable Type (The big name in the blogsphere) were born 6 days apart. Also this is another story how a venture capitalist convinced a 'mom & pop' corner store company to a global company with millions in profits. Not surprising that a VC got into it, something like 50% of VC is done in Silicon ValleyStory here.
