ugh

Okay, so there is this OSMPajamas Media thing now. I guess it will separate those of us who blog for fun, as a hobby and those who wish to use blogging as extra income.

I'm pretty noncommittal about the whole thing. I'm sure that my low stats will fall even lower because I frankly don't care enough about them to spend more precious time blogging and trying to be clever.

I have met a lot of really great people blogging. I hope that John and I will continue to be able to meet other bloggers, but I wonder if the now professional bloggers will lower themselves to meet those of us who are amateurs.

I fully expect that they will all blogroll each other and delete those of us who don't have the time or self-interest to be professional bloggers.

Maybe they should not be called bloggers anymore?

Maybe they should be called advertisements with some opinionated commentary?

I hope they all do well. I suspect that this is the beginning of the end of blogging, though.
