There's been a wash of articles this month that appear to solidify the position of weblogs as an online content platform for politics, business and public information. This continued level of acceptance will hopefully enable more conservative institutions (like courts) to embrace the platform more widely. Recent articles include (updated since original posting, thanks Denise):
