About this weblog
Here we'll report daily on the latest tech and business developments in New York City. Impossible we concede: comprehensive coverage of the city's every story. What we hope you'll find: tips, tidbits and perspectives you won't find elsewhere. As well as unique insights, original interviews and more that should be of interest to New York's vibrant community of technologists and those who track, invest in and report on them.
Without a doubt, 2004 was an exciting year for the blogosphere. ABC News, for example, named bloggers as its "People of the Year" while Merriam-Webster named "blog" as its "word of the year." By some estimates, 27% of online adults now read blogs -- and that percentage will only grow over the next 12 months.
So what's ahead in 2005 for the blogosphere? One question on the minds of many bloggers is whether microcontent will finally lead to macrorevenue.
