This is an excellent discussion of why blogs mostly represent some new technology that works well for some people. They are not about to replace good reporting, in my view and in this author's opinion.
The trick is to figure out what is good and valuable about the technology and put it to better uses than it is today.

"Blogs" are content in the end and no different for customers than any other content in the web. The sooner we start thinking like that, the sooner the full power of making it easier to add web content can be put to successful use.
