I agree. “I just think there’s a big wide open space just waiting to be filled by a genuinely authoritative voice on blog/blogging news.”

I agree.

I see your point. I just think there's a big wide open space just waiting to be filled by a genuinely authoritative voice on blog/blogging news. Right now, I'm just not convinced that TBH can fill that slot. But then again, that might not be what they're aiming for. WHat they're saying and what they're doing seem to be two separate things. It's like watching the Wheel of Fortune. Who knows where it's gonna stop. Yeah. I see your point. I just think there’s a big wide open space just waiting to be filled by a genuinely authoritative voice on blog/blogging news.

WHat they’re saying and what they’re doing seem to be two separate things.

It’s like watching the Wheel of Fortune.

Who knows where it’s gonna stop.

The google suit post doesn't involve bloggers at all though they do attempt to tie it in with one sentence at the end. My point is that they can include snarky analysis if they actually cover blogging news, which is not well covered by anybody else that I've seen. That's what distinguished the Blog Herald and gave it a unique position. Otherwise it's just another blog about whatever captures the writer's attention. And that really would destroy what was distinctive about the brand.
