Blogs pass newspapers on meaningless graph

trend-blog-newspaper.jpgYou'll recall a certain conference about blogging that went mostly unattended and unmentioned. Well, Read/WriteWeb's Alex Iskold actually went, and came back with a gem of a navelgazing thumbsucker, too. I'm not sure how using Google Trends, which tracks the frequency of searches on terms, gets you anything meaningful about "blogging" versus "newspapers," but I'm sure I don't care. This one's for the dead-tree lovers among us, baby.

  • I don't know, maybe bad data can reflect real trends. CNN stopped reporting news when it re-did its format a month or so ago.

    The only way to get news now is from the blogs. The traditional news sources aren't reporting it anymore.

    Yes, that Hayden chick from Heroes is blowing up - she’s in Vanity Fair … meaningless graph on how blogs are surpassing newspapers … remember all those awkward moments in high school? You can avoid them now!
