All Blogs, all the time

I tuned into CNN during lunch and it was all blogs. I saw the same thing last week and I guess now it’s a regular feature for CNN to read and show blog posts on the air. I imagine they have a crack news staff pouring over RSS feeds to find relevant posts. The topics today include Dan Rather’s departure and the FEC’s threat to regulate political blogs.

Focused more on business blogging, I don’t spend too much time on political blogs, but wondered how it long it would be before business start pitting blogs against each other (maybe they’re doing it already?). One example could be a FUD blog going against all the MSDN blogs. Or a company has a crisis blog at the ready to roll out, when some bad press hits. As company get blogs, will more sinister uses emerge? Are companies searching competitors blogs now for trade secrets and employees to poach?

At some point, I expect, it’s going to be enough with the feel-good blogging manifestos, buzz on CEO bloggers, and down to business as usual.
