Oh, and I forgot Salon, which just launched its blog service. With this online magazine, which has been around for a few years now, it's a case of New Media trying to keep pace with newer media. Similarly, MSNBC, furiously merging NBC TV, Newsweek magazine, and Internet news, has launched a blog or two as well. Speaking of Microsoft, which of course owns MSNBC, it should be pointed out that the MS-owned webzine Slate has been posting Today's Papers, a daily digest of major newspaper articles, for years now, so blogging is nothing new.
