Can one make a career out of blogging ?? Definitely, like in all other fields, there are the concepts of popularity, quality and "making it to the top". There are the really good bloggers - whose blogs are a must-read and respected in the blogosphere while there are the ones who hardly know what they are doing - the ones who just decided to try something because all their friends were doing it.
The other day I read on India Uncut of Amit Varma, one of the most respected Indian bloggers that there is some kind of bloggers' get-together where they meet and discuss blogging "business".
And the latest that I hear is that there was some sensation where some blog called Mediaah had to be shut down after the Times (tabloid ?) of India threatened legal action against it because of some particular posts that supposedly were libellous and targetted the Tabloid. (Must be interesting ... but nah ... not that interesting to get to the heart of it). Point: clearly blogs are not just a pastime of the netaddicts and people that have nothing to do. They do and will have a big role as alternate media. Bloggers have power. But with great power, comes great responsibility. Blogging may never be a career but it clearly is serious business.
