JOHN DVORAK PREDICTS:

Let me stop here for a moment and make some specific predictions. Within the next year, both David Letterman and Jay Leno will make jokes about blogs and even discuss them. “Nightline” will do an entire show on blogging. San Jose journalist and blog promoter Dan Gillmor will be a guest for the episode. This is the point where blogging will become mainstream. Shortly thereafter, we will see blogging millionaires, as venture capitalists figure out ways to make money from the trend.

That’s a fairly astonishing reversal from Dvorak’s earlier, ahem, skepticism toward weblogs, isn’t it?

And there’s this revelation: “Steve Ballmer is supposed to have a secret blog someplace.” (Via Nick Denton).
