There are a few petty annoyances as well, but they’re not as fun. I tend to agree with her on most of these points, although not all. Either way, we should all do what we can to make 2007 a better year for the blogosphere, since it’s growing and all.

How about “tech blogs” that just post popular stories from digg, then surround them on all sides with Google Ads? I’ve seen a lot of those.
