Blogs In Review (Jason vs. Nick - 1:0 ?)
Fortune is listing the top 10 tech trends - and blogs run in at no. 1. As far as we are concerned David Kirkpatrick and Daniel Roth did a nice job summarizing the basics of blogland. It's no in depth analysis but what can you expect from Fortune, when most of their readers still have to dig the blog thingy.
Stunningly our field of expertise was hit by the article when we noticed that Jason's empire stood in the limelight and for once not Nick's. Both Engadget and Autoblog get the plug for either Kryptonite issue or the Mazda issue.
At this point we have to halt our analysis and strike the above senctence as we are disappointed by the poor citing from Kirkpatrick and Roth:
Continuing with the regular entry: Only a few lines later we read about "Engadget competitor Gizmodo" and not as one would expect Gizmodo competitor Engadget. Also Nick is only even mentioned in one of the last paragraphs: "Jason Calacanis and Nick Denton, are going head-to-head with stables of popular blogs (Engadget and Autoblog vs. Gizmodo, Gawker, and Wonkette, among others)." Jason's first up here again.
This, however, my not account for much since the two authors have failed ridiculuously to cite correctly!

At this point we have to halt our analysis and strike the above senctence as we are disappointed by the poor citing from Kirkpatrick and Roth:
- They say: "'We're switching to something else ASAP,' wrote Engadget editor Peter Rojas."
BUT: It was actually Phillip Torrone who wrote this! - Obviously they didn't even read half the comments of the aformentioned Mazda issue posting. Just citing the first comment as "'Everything about that 'blog' is disgusting,' wrote a poster on Autoblog."
BUT: What the "poster" actually wrote is "'Everything about that "blog" is insulting.'"
