Bloggers Link Another Story That Is On The Mark

Google makes video
play with YouTube buy>>>more
from CNet.com website

It finally happened...Google purchased YouTube. I think what really blows me away is not the purchase of YouTube (it was rumored that pretty soon YouTube might have went under do to the bandwidth cost to the company) but the fact that once again, a blogger broke the story.

Remember when we were in the grocery store and we saw magazines like the National Enquirer and other magazines that we would just walk right past them because they were 90-95% crap and the rest may and I say a small may have been true. Now these 'throw' away newspapers (can't believe I just called them newspapers) have more truth and break more stories it seems than People, Time, Newsweek and other legit news organizations.

I think some of it now comes from the fact of, you guessed it...technology. Ted Turner started it all with CNN to be honest. People thought he was nuts to start a 24hour, around the coverage news organization. Yep, he was crazy..crazy like a multi-billionaire fox. Now we have the Weather Channel, ESPN, the Golf Channel, Speed Channel. Yep Ted, you were the innovator.

It was the blogs that told on Mark Foley and this leak with the Google purchase of YouTube. Most blogs you have to take it with a grain of salt but rather the big news organization want to recognize this or not, bloggers are making there mark when it comes to delivering news. Hurricane Katrina, the war in Iraq, the news is getting out to the masses..the good and the bad. Even now when you go to websites (CNN, MSNBC, CNet) they have 'blog" sections on their site.

I listened to my TWiT podcast today and they were kind of scoffing about the Google/YouTube story. John C. Dvorak (you're still my hero) did not think this was legit...sorry John.

Yes, blogs are here to stay and that gives me hope that maybe I can do this full time one day soon.
