Will There Soon Be A Bloggers' UNION?

By: Candice A Donofrio

This ARTICLE in WebProNews poses the question. Could it happen?

Or, will this medium by its very nature defy it? So many questions -- if there was a union, would there be 'sub-unions' like techie bloggers, real estate bloggers, bootieknitting bloggers . . . you get my point.

Jason Lee Miller, a tech editor of WPN, tells us we may not want to laugh or pooh-pooh the idea necessarily.

This is a fascinating article and you may enjoy reading and thinking about it.

Blogs are turning into bucks. Bucks cause controversy.

If I had to react now I would have to agree with a couple of posters that felt that the concept of a "Blogger's Guild" makes more sense than a "Union". For the moment, I'm sort of enjoying the chaos, though. August 13, 2007 9:11 AM

It's like the story Denis Waitley tells of Australia's Great Barrier Reef, how dangerous and life threatening every moment, but that's where the food is, the beauty, the LIFE . . . :) August 13, 2007 9:27 AM

Of course we will need blogging rules and regulations too. Perhaps a new career for journalism majors. He does do a good job of twisting and turning the subject, but afraid I had better stick to my day/evening/weekend/holiday job. August 13, 2007 2:44 PM
