Well, well, well. I've only been blogging for five minutes now but this blog has been designated as a Great Blog of Fire by my good friend Geoff Livingston. See, you buy a guy a beer at Quigley's in 1993, and you get a cool logo to slap on your blog.

Which, by the way, is a phrase I never thought I'd utter.

Meanwhile, back in 2007, the Kathy Sierra saga has made the Washington Post. A pretty balanced article all in all with a good balanced explanation of the blogging world. Myself, I'd bet that different groups of bloggers will self organize around different levels of nastiness and openness. We've been in a situation where all bloggers are all together without any defined standards of conduct and it's creating some friction. Since the barrier to association on the Internet is near-nil, this seems to be the logical end result.

Oh and Eastern Market burned down...
