To me, it looks like an effort to form a self-selected "old bloggers' club" that will give its members some elite cache with mainstream media outlets and among others in the blogging world.

Basically, almost everyone (who isn&#8217;t a leftard jackass) is saying, OK, that&#8217;s nice, but what the hell is this thing? Exactly how I feel. I still don&#8217;t get it, and won&#8217;t sign on until I do&#8211;if at all. Too much commitment for someone like me who could just say [edited] to blogging on any given day. Besides, I don&#8217;t want to give up even a hint of editorial control, and I don&#8217;t know how much of an issue that is, either. More here.

They want you to take down BlogAds and put their ads on your site (which you would get paid) in return to be included. The catch is the ads that they put on is not only based on your traffic but less than what you could make off of BlogAds -- and you had to sign a one-year contract.

It is just new faces in an old profession. Part of what we face losing by developing a "new" media is the watchdog atmosphere that has been created by the bloggers. Am I only going to get their truths in reporting? Or should I continue to do what I do? Read the papers, watch the news, scan the blogoshere for various opinions and finally reach my own conclusions. Jack has some good points. But the way he paints the picture, these guys are sell outs and actually joining the "system". I don't go to their sites often, not do i quote them often on my own blog or another blog I author at. Do you people all read them daily? How many of their comments are unique? I am just rather curious about it. I guess I am missing what is new about this?! It is just new faces in an old profession.
