An important update - SpiralFrog just announced it has achieved more than 1 million unique monthly visitors and more than 400,000 registered users. That's pretty fast growth in just 4 months…

Allen,
The real point is that no matter how much time you invest in your blog, the time, expense and effort is much lower than producing a track or album.

It's not about the time you spend producing really good content; it's about the noise created by others who collectively are producing an overwhelming volume of copy at the same time, because the barriers to doing so are so low.

Note that I didn't say it was ludicrously easy to create *good* blog content, but rather that *good* isn't enough to create the same market that exists for music.

now daniel - that's a pile of crap :)

while i agree for anyone to setup a blog, it might be easy - why don't you come sit with me for a day during 12-14 hours while i write, research, analyze, etc. over the content i write - you see im not a copy blogger.

maybe i am not a blogger after all.

gotcha - it is the same but clearly we won't see eye-2-eye on this… out of curiosity, how much is the newspaper that you write on during the week? like if i bought one at a news stand?
