Winer extends his salutations to Dan Gilmor (hmm. that's another link I need to change) who is leaving the San Jose Mercury News (should I drop them from the morning reads?)
Congrats to Dan Gillmor (Steve's younger brother) on winding up his long run at the SJ Merc, and looking forward to hearing more about the new career as Pied Piper of amateur journalism in the US. [Scripting News]
Nonetheless, Dan leaves a list of cites for the increasing relevance of blogs in today's information economy:
My colleague (until tomorrow) Mike Bazeley discusses how blogs and other online forums have become a "global commons" in the wake of the tsunamis. See also this BBC story.
ABC News's World News Tonight understood the importance of bloggers, and called them "People of the Year" (Xeni Jardin of BoingBoing is featured).
Stuart Hughes, one of my heros in the blog world, posted some kind words about my book. Thanks, Stuart.
Jay Rosen has been penning a fascinating "top 10" list of journalism ideas emerging in 2004. My work figures in several, but I encourage you to just go to his invaluable PressThink blog and start reading.
Enjoy.
