Helge: We do some blogging in this country as well. Small nations and languages have an disadvantage. It's very difficult to monetize on blogs. But it's nice to read that there is big money out there for some fellow bloggers.
Bloggers Blog: How Much Are The Top Blogs Worth?: "How Much Are The Top Blogs Worth? 24/7 Wall St has a post (hat tip Silicon Valley Insider) asking who is going to buy the big blogs. Take Huffington.
According to research firm Compete, it has an audience almost as large as the online version of the Philadelphia Inquirer.
