There's an awful lot of hoopla surrounding Marc Canter's recent announcement about bringing even more commercialization into the blogosphere. I'm thrilled to see that Lockergnome was thrown into the discussion, which tells me that I'm doing something right (or wrong, which is still right). Jason was probably the most prolific in his public response, although it didn't really attempt “solve” the problem. Robin nailed it (as usual). Wait – what problem? Let's see… at Gnomedex this year, when I asked the crowd if they'd like to make money from their online efforts, an overwhleming majority of them raised their hands. That's a problem without a solution, and is exactly where programs like Google AdSense and Blogads come into play. I've made great strides in the past year to give folks traffic boosts just for contributing regularly to LG. It's all about give and take, and right now, you've got a lot of great opinions out there which are not getting read – because they don't have the reach. But does that make the written or spoken perspective any less valid or valuable? Or, let me put it to you another way: if you could quit your full-time job tomorrow, would you?
