No wonder he perceives blogs as a negative force in his nicely shaped little world. He might not get as big a bonus next year if WSJ profits are down. Is it true that there are a lot of useless blogs out there? of course it is, but that no more proves that blogs are worthless than the logic that since some drivers are road idiots therefore so are all drivers. It's a bit of failure to pay attention during first year logic classes. Amongst the 'chaff' of not good blogs are the 'wheat' of actual journalistic freedom. More appropriately digital democracy. Given the choice between the former model of information being controlled by media moguls and governments to today's model of publish at will I certainly know that I'm in favor of freedom. One of the great opportunities being realized today and bound to be better realized in the future are services that democratically separate the wheat from the chaff ... I think we sometimes call it Social Networking and other similar names. However, none of this pays Mr. Rago's Starbucks bills so of course he doesn't like it. Sorry 'bout that.

One of the great opportunities being realized today and bound to be better realized in the future are services that democratically separate the wheat from the chaff … I think we sometimes call it Social Networking and other similar names. However, none of this pays Mr. Rago’s Starbucks bills so of course he doesn’t like it. Sorry ’bout that.

(RAGO!!) well, he obviously is reading the wrong stuff, and is obviously pointing to himself. He might have some point but he argued that most blogs produced "by and large" crap materials.
