The more good blogs like yours the better. (If you want to add me to your "on the web" section that would be great.)

She didn't tell us about Wanderlust and when we found out about it second hand I gave her the option of picking either site to work for, but I thought it wouldn't be a good idea to have anyone working for a competative site. Now, she didn't think Gadling.com and WandaLust were competitive, but I did. I think Sabrina is a great writer and I was really sad to see her go, but you can't work for coke and pepsi at the same time.... so, not really a firing and there was no drama.... although the headline on Sabrina's site about being "fired" does make it seem really dramatic I agree. There is plenty of space for 20 blog publishers and I'm sure there will be 50 in another year or two. That's a good thing.... as long as we're #1 in whichever space we are in I'm fine with there being 500 blog publishers... :-) best jason Sabrina being “fired” from Weblogs, Inc. is not really accurate.

We refer to those kinds of blogs as filter blogs (like, say, Instapundit), whereas blogs that publish more lengthy pieces are actual commentary blogs. There is room for both in the blogosphere. However, agree very much re frequency of updates - people come back because they expect to see fresh content when they return. If your blog isn't dynamic, it may as well be a morgue site.
