In last week’s video I examined 5 Emerging Trends in blogging.

Magazine Sites Up 11.9% in Q1 2008

Thanks to the fact that most magazine sites realize that they sucked big time, and redesigned with content and presentation geared at internet users rather than repacked print stuff, the niche is seeing an 11.9% increase in visitors during the first quarter of 2008.

BusinessWeek Launches Recession in America Blog

Recession in America [1] is a new blog on BusinessWeek [2], focusing on, yes you guessed it, the recenssion in America. Blogger Tim Catts will travel across the country to meet the people. this is how he describes the blog in the launch post [3]: This blog is one of the places we’ll tell these stories. Here, we’ll jump into the conversation about where the economy is and where it’s going. Yes, sometimes we’ll look at the latest data. Sometimes we’ll share observations from the road. The goal is to give readers real stories about how the downturn is affecting individuals, businesses, and communities. A good call, I’d say. Blogs are great for covering temporary (?) issues.
