To be or not to be

Has the time for blogs come and go? Are we sinking towards irrelevance? See the views of self-professed blog lover Jennifer Howard in the Washington Post, It's a Little Too Cozy in the Blogsphere. She writes,

What began as the ultimate outsider activity -- a way to break the newspaper and TV stranglehold on the gathering and dissemination of information -- is turning into the same insider's game played by the old establishment media the bloggerati love to critique. The more blogs you read and the more often you read them, the more obvious it is: They've fallen in love with themselves, each other and the beauty of what they're creating. The cult of media celebrity hasn't been broken by the Internet's democratic tendencies; it's just found new enabling technology.

She may be right, but since her thesis is that all this is driven by blogers whoget obsessed with how many readers they have, we at Remove All Doubt should be fairly safe. Our small but loyal readership can be assured we'll never give in and go Hollywood. You have our word on it.
