I have written extensively about the difference between amateurs and pros. I use the terms the same way they apply to athletics. There's no implication of higher quality on either side, but if I had to make a choice, I'd prefer to read amateur stuff, it's more honest, less conflicted. Integration means having bloggers write for the Times and having Times reporters keep blogs. I've also written about that. Tom asks some other questions that I don't think, as the CEO of a private company, I have to or want to answer. BTW, unlike Tom, I was against &lt;a href=&quot;http://tom.weblogs.com/stories/storyReader$16&quot;&gt;Third Voice&lt;/a&gt;. If it had caught on, there would have been no difference between the Web and mail lists. I like mail lists for what they are. And I like the Web for what it is. And I thought the Times challenge of Amazon over use of the Times Best-Seller List was tacky, but then I don't think much of Amazon either. They could have been Google, they could have been on our side, and a stupid worthless &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&amp;ie=ISO-8859-1&amp;oe=ISO-8859-1&amp;q=amazon+one-click+patent&quot;&gt;patent&lt;/a&gt; was enough to turn them to the dark side. I think the Pew Internet (pointer?) writeup nailed it. Someone at NYTD thinks weblogs are important. But it's a big organization, a very venerable one, and there are two sides to that. I don't want to inherit any of the Times' conflicts, I am solidly a blogger, and an amateur, but I do want to help ease them into the new practice of journalism, and at the same time help bloggers take ourselves and each other more seriously. And maybe it's just a way of returning a kindness they did for me when they helped train my mind as a kid. " created="Fri, 22 Mar 2002 18:36:51 GMT"/>
