Instant obsolescence or Marx & Orwell

The Financial Times Magazine has a excellently written article on blogging, which makes a viably sceptical point about blogging, for a change (via SM).

Speaking of the blogosphere, or whatever it is supposed to be called in Mr. Butterworth's opinion, I'd like to put two hippi-esquely idealistic quotes by Dave Winer from a recent episode of Rocketboom into searchable format:

"If you are an amateur, you have less reason
not to tell the truth - your truth."

... and in the same vein ...

"Writers who work for others have less integrity to offer
than those who do it for love."
