Brassneck: 10th most influential blog in Britain…
So says a recent poll by Editorial Intelligence. For those of you who have not yet tumbled, Brassneck is a blog I have been writing for the Daily Telegraph for the last six months or so. The poll was amongst ‘a self selecting group of individuals from politics, business, media, public life, and academia’ and is detailed within a report jointly commissioned by the Reuters’ Institute and Editorial Intelligence. The report, written by John Lloyd and Julia Hobsbawm is well worth reading, and is available here. Sadly I missed the launch event for unavoidable reasons, but Guido was scathing about the comments aimed at bloggers by some on the platform.

“Correct. That’d be the “self important prick” perspective. Hell, that will probably be removed but some days I really can’t help myself.”
Indeed.

Making half of it available for download for free, then pricing the other half (£20, Amazon) such that it’s too much for 25 more pages, but too little to make any money from corporate is a marketing approach that I think misses both the “wide circulation” and the “make money” objectives.
I’m not sure that they “get it”.
It is a mistake for bloggers to be subsumed by the glass bubble *completely*. Keep your sharp elbows. Please.
