I agree with Eric, I don’t think most blogs are worth buying…unless the creator/writer comes with it. I am not sure where the demand for blogs will take us, but I wouldn’t be surprised if an organization such as CanWest or BellGlobe Media eventually added blogs such as Techcrunch to their portfolio of media properties.

Thanks for pointing out the difference in how people value blogs, Mark. I don’t know if I’ll have a buyer yet on Technosailor, but the value is there should a buyer want to look past the black and white of revenue stream.

Also, when are you going to make your permalinks friendly?

Clearly, some Blogs talk to an audience that is more sought after to advertiser’s then others. Also sometimes the personal notoriety of the writers will attract a faithful following. Traffic to one Blogs in a definite consideration, but nothing compares to perceived quality of the audience.

Most blogs from my point of view are not worth buying since they rely on the author creators creativity. But I agree that this will be the year where we will start putting a $$ amount on certain online properties.
