Blogs don't make money but bloggers can

Two arguments have been dominating the blogosphere in the past few days.

How to get people to pay for news and whether blogging can earn you a living.

David Winer responds to the second question after seeing Daniel Lyons piece in Newsweek which I blogged about earlier in the week.

Dave says that

Blogs don't make money. But people with blogs can.

and says that he has made $2m from his.

Don't rush to find out how however but consider how the blog is used.In Dave case it was a marketing tool for his software company,it was a platform for getting consultancy

the posts I've written here have served as a calling card, a way of keeping my name and ideas on people's minds
