The reasoning doesn't follow. When you say "high" and "highly valued", by what standards? by how many? Even if we assume these are defined, I ca see how you would like to read a blog post that you found through search or an aggrgator on a topic that was of interest to you that day. How many will consistently read the same blog (despite what the RSS subscription numbers say)? In any communication what is signal to some is noise to others. On a side note, if you use verizon or sprint mobile phone, that's exactly how everyone get to have their own phone conversation. Blogs by definition are rants (or more benignly blogger's view of something), random or not, I appreciate your comments Nathan.

Blogs with random rants are not. Perhaps if you value blogs so little you should post less often ;) Blogs with high signal-to-noise are highly valued sources of information.

Good thing this didn't happen a couple weeks ago... Btw, we would use their CRM product if it wasn't so insanely expensive for academic/non-profit organizations. We're looking for an affordable relationship management app. We use 37Signals’ BaseCamp for >play. Good thing this didn’t happen a couple weeks ago…

I don't use any of their services myself but I would imagine a few businesses were having fun with 37Signals down. Backups (because they'll all have backups, right?) will take up some of the slack but they take time to make ready, not completely up-to-date etc. It looks like it is more than just blogs.
