Bloggers go pro?

Jason Kottke's going to blog full-time – at least, he's going to give it a shot. [Link]

But Mr. Kottke said he wants kottke.org to be his life focus, though he is not sure if the dream can come true. He said he doesn’t hate advertising, but resents its intrusive nature. "There are currently two parties involved with kottke.org: me and the collective you," said Mr. Kottke. "Advertising introduces a third party."

Other prominent bloggers applauded Mr. Kottke’s step but expressed doubts about its success. "He’s taking a no-advertising approach and good for him,” said Mitch Ratcliffe, a veteran Internet personality. “I don't think it’s viable, but it is a push in the right direction."
