An interesting article by David Sifry from a month or so back looks at the state of blogging. As the individual creditted with creating Technorati four years ago, he is obviously one of the individuals that truly understood the blogging revolution and how important it would be to the Internet and the way people obtain their information. It was interesting that he addressed the issue of Spam blogs, something that obviously inflates and diminishes the value of the blogosphere, and something that I would compare to spam pages on MySpace, something that probably doesn’t get the attention that it deserves. While pages/profiles on MySpace are designed to help propogate spam, a site like Technorati, which is considered to be a more credible site, cannot benefit from the efforts in the blogosphere that are analogous to commericial MySpace profiles.

Although it is long, the article is quite thorough and definitely worth a read, or at least a browsing.
