Did you hear how the Seattle P-I newspaper is going to shut down if it is not bought in two months? Another death of that dinosaur, news in print.
I just had a thought. What if all us former and current P-I bloggers pooled all the money we made blogging for them to buy the newspaper ourselves?? Wouldn’t that be cool??
Oh, yeah. They didn’t pay us anything.
Blogger: -noun, 1. a person who keeps a web log or online personal diary, enduring endless rants by trolls and snarkiness by fellow bloggers, in exchange for no monetary reward; 2. a glutton for punishment.

Snarkiness. That word is just not used enough. hehehehe
Dumblonds last blog post..Movie Review Time Tuesday: The Presidential Edition
A client the other day said the tone of their site is a bit “snarky” – a word I hadn’t heard in forever. And here it is again. The world is small.
Just think — If all of those who bemoan the loss of S P-I could energize and raise enough cash, they could make money on a big loan like the New York Times received from Carlos Slim from Mexico. He’s charging 14% interest for the $250,000 he loaned NYT this week!
