A level-headed report on blogging.

Caslon analytics profile: web logs and blogging.

It’s rare to find someone who has researched weblogs thoroughly enough to really know what they’re talking about, yet has managed not to succumb to the contagious enthusiasm surrounding the phenomenon. This three-page report features lots of links, with quite a few that were new to me. Plus, the authors grant me one of their weekly awards. Here’s a quote to spark your interest:

we suspect that the blog phenomenon is about to peak and that most will soon be stored in the part of cyberspace dedicated to hula hoops, pogo sticks and other fashions that reached their use-by date.

I’ll let you read and think about it for yourself before I comment.
