This nearly puts me at a loss for words. I guess I should do a post on which blogs
people ought to read. I actually feel like I will get back to it at some point.

The world of blogs is now getting stuffed up with a) horrible careerists trying to get a job on a mainstream newspaper or magazine b) horrible careerists who have managed to get a spot on the website of a mainstream newspaper or magazine. About the best thing you can say about them is that as a feeder for the media industry, they don't have quite so much of the obvious social mobility problems associated with unp-aid internships (although please don't ask me to name any widely-known working class bloggers under the age of 30). I tend to think of the day Maxspeak shut up shop as being basically the Altamont of blogs; after that, we all tried to carry on, but deep down we knew it was over. best dd ----- Original Message ----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: "Progressive Economics" Subject: Re: Re: [Pen-l] Facebooking Date: Thu, 07 Aug 2008 17:07:16 -0400 I don't mind the self-promotion as much as the fact that it's all unidirectional. When I was blogging my policy was to try and foster mutual support, but the big shots (sic) were usually not interested. I would get these emails from The Nation, Z, etc. inviting me to publicize them, but when I sent notes saying how about supporting me too, the silence was deafening. One reason I soured on blogging. ----- Original Message ----- From: Doug Henwood Sent: 08/07/08 04:53 pm To: Progressive Economics Subject: Re: [Pen-l] Facebooking On Aug 7, 2008, at 3:00 PM, [EMAIL PROTECTED] <http://mail-us.gmx.com/fm07/cgi/g.fcgi/mail/new?&to=sawicky%40verizon.net> wrote: > hey do a lot of promotion, so maybe > it works (i.e., David Sirota is more relentless than anyone). No kidding. His status updates are an endless exercise in self- promotion. I'm so bad at being petit bourgeois.
