Blogs Bring Back Dot-Com Poster Boy

Posted by ryuzaki0 on Sunday January 1, 2006 @10:41AM from the how-do-you-sign-up-to-be-a-poster-boy dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Wired has a profile of Jason Calacanis, the former Dot-Com bubble rider, and now the mind behind the sale of Weblogs, Inc. to AOL." From the article: "Calacanis and Alvey wanted to get in on the action, but the scale and limitations of blogs bugged them. 'We decided that one blog, like Rafat's, could make tens of thousands of dollars a year,' says Alvey. 'Definitely enough for one person who works 24 hours a day to sustain a business. But how could you get so that you could add more people?' The answer, they decided, was to build a network of blogs."

. . .no one wants to read about boring details of other people's lives . . .

I only just now, while reading your post, noticed that my VCR has a "Home Theater Ready" sticker on it. That's stupid.

So I peeled it off.

. . .you should look at ones that are popular and fit your tastes. . .

That's why I "blog" by posting shit like the above on Slashdot, because I know people here will be interested in it.
