“Larger blogs lacking the stomach for competition will sell to large media corporations.”

That’s a weak shot at a trailblazer who made it before you and had no serious competition in their space.

What about the deal to buy TC? Is that not one less (huge) independent blog / media group?

“I’m sticking to my argument that blogs should get cash positive and then start to acquire others – raising a slug of money just gives people an incentive to spend it, and you lose control to a group of investors who may know little or nothing about how to build a blog.”

But doesn’t this apply to most startup companies out there? By raising funding you obviously get exposure to experiences personnel, but you also do end up losing control to investors who may not know much about your technology.

Gigaom is trying to survive somehow, but will that work?

Did you people notice that they don’t display the number of rss subscribers the way TC does? That to me means just one thing: their numbers are waaaay below the 900k or so subscriptions that TC has.

I guess they will not grow very much the Gigaom readers base by posting news written in dry, MSM, language that lack some personality (hey, even rants are interesting on TC). Thus, acquiring smaller blogs that got a more human touch with the readers.

Please stop naming GigaOM, or TechCrunch “blogging networks”; They are now media groups, like ZDNet, Cnet and others tech information specialists.
