I'd buy that for a dollar!

What was that I was saying about the commercialization of blogging? At his blog This Modern World, political cartoonist Tom Tomorrow points out a Craiglist ad that promises to pay bloggers for blogging about their products.

What was the old joke about the woman who agreed to sleep with a man for a million dollars, then protested with "Who do you think I am?!" when he dropped his price to a dollar. "We've established what you are, madam," the gentleman replied. "We're just haggling over the price."

The blog pimps are only offering 10 bucks a day, though. Low-rent, indeed.


I'm MaryAnn Johanson, writer and editor, and this is my scratch pad, idea-jotter-downer, portfolio and resume, and general hang-out blog.
