She also offers some advice on how to make it in the modern blogosphere: "Use your blogs to target particular audiences and have a clear mission, and you'll get a following."
I can only hope to live up to that. So far, this has been an experiment in trying to blog again, only with a much broader framework than "daily fantasy baseball updates and analysis." I'm still trying to find my focus.
In a related post on the future of the blogosphere, Tyler asks how you can combine blogs and Twitter to make your daily intake of information more efficient.

Excellent quote from Ezra Klein on the development of the blogosphere:
"The blogosphere grew up and it got a job, or, to be more specific, lots of jobs. That made it less fun, but, like a frat house legend who now goes to work every morning, probably more useful to society."
A clear mission could get us a following, but maybe we're not ready for that.
Haha that's a fantastic quote! And I don't think we are close to being ready for that, but in the long run writing for someone other than me will make your life more interesting (or at least that was true for RotoNomics).
More on the development of the blogosphere. Tyler offers more perspective on blogging in CYOE, as well.
This might be worth a new post in the future - I think the direction of the blogosphere, especially in the context of newspapers failing, magazines changing their focus, the Kindle growing daily - is actually a very interesting topic.
