- Interesting article and comments. A couple of things to consider: 1. Open Office 3.0 for the Mac or Google Docs 2. The faster startup (boot and hibernating) and lack of crashing OS can really...

- I didn't know you were a fanboy. When did that happen?
- You can create PDFs with a little program called PDF Converter 5 Pro from Buy.com for $99. Throw in a copy of OpenOffice software and the Dell is cheaper than the Apple. I don't buy it.
- Totally agree that many companies should not consider the Apple solution. That said, most 'no' answers are based on the pricepoint of hardware and in many cases, the TCO is actually cheaper...

Yesterday, I posted a video that suggested that perhaps a little consolidation needs to happen in the blogosphere. I was not the first. At the time of that recording, it had slipped my mind that Mike Arrington predicted a roll-up of blogs back in March.

Same idea, shift it for modernity. We're talking about the tech sector and we're talking about electronic news. Sure, there are lots of folks with 100 feeds. There are a few folks with 500+ feeds. And then there's Scoble (before he nuked his GReader account).
My point being is that most folks will sample the blogosphere and find a few they like - they don't subscribe to everyone. Thus the echo doesn't exist for them. Choice does, though, and that's what makes this nice.

You make a lot of good points, and I do think that a network is probably the strongest positioning point for ad deals like you're talking about. I have a lot of thoughts on this, and tomorrow, either at my domain or mashable there should be something showing up on this topic. There's a lot to noodle here, and I'm enjoying watching this conversation unfold so publicly.

While I'm assuming there'll be no interest, I would like to note that we're releasing tech later this year to allow all this to happen very seamlessly (and at no risk to member blogs, since they can set a minimum CPM and set a backup code ... like their AdSense code).
And it also gives blogs access to a sales team which, per my post, is really the biggest challenge.
Again, I'm sure there's little interest to work with me and b5 again, but I'd be happy to show you our plans at Gnomedex, and if you like it, to figure out a way to insulate you from the things you don't like or agree with.
End of the day, what we'll be launching doesnt' lock bloggers in, doesnt' require a commitment, gives bloggers full control and is designed to helping all bloggers (not just the biggest ones) make more money ... without giving up their current revenue streams.

I'm interested in seeing what you have. Options are always good. I
think you were talking to Duncan about Gnomedex but if me... Its
looking less and less like I'll be able to afford the trip.
Thanks for stopping by. I hate admitting when Mike Arrington is right.

And you're not going to Gnomedex? What's the issue? Would really suck not to see you there... We have some small projects we're about to outsource (some coding, some not) if you're interested...
Either way, the approach on this project is to give bloggers total freedom, total choice and to encourage these kinds of "networks" (in quotes for a reason) to coalesce quickly and easily - and hopefully for bloggers to make more money at the same time!
