ABC News: March 8, 2005: Bloggers
WASHINGTON, March 8, 2005 — To their credit, the bloggers have given us in the traditional news business a swift kick in the pants.
Knowing that a vibrant electronic community can galvanize at the drop of a dangling modifier forces all of us to be more careful, accurate and thorough. It's also true that the collective effort — and expertise — of the blogging community is invaluable for bringing new information to light on almost any subject.
That said, the blinding speed of the blogging world — and a tendency of some bloggers to shoot first and ask questions later — should raise a yellow flag.
Good journalism is tedious; it requires legwork, research and editing. Even that does not preclude big mistakes — as the bloggers themselves have so clearly exposed.
But, over time, such tedious work is the price of credibility.
And the new media kids on the block will have to earn that.
One blogger at a time.

Pick A Niche and Own It
In this article, Jennifer Rice talks about owning a niche. I found it interesting because that's the whole idea behind AnswerBlogs, to find your niche and own it. I've had a difficult time getting people to understand the difference between a niche and an industry or category, but it seems we are making progress.
"What is your 'how?' Are you faster, better, cooler, more innovative? More connected with your customers? Or, asked another way, how do you inspire emotion in your customers? Do they feel liberated? Hip? Special? In control? Connected?
Own a 'how' in your industry, and you'll have a path for future growth as the market and competitive set changes."
