Jon Friedman at MarketWatch says bloggers frighten him...
Now that bloggers have gained a measure of credibility, what are they going to do with their newfound acceptance?
The danger is that bloggers are going to embrace the worst aspects of tabloids. That means, as the saying goes, they'll throw their content against a wall, and if it sticks, they'll publish it, no matter how wild or trivial it might be.
As important as a freewheeling world of opinion is, an irresponsible writer can endanger reputations within society at large and within journalism as a profession.
Despite tone of the headline, Jon says he is also keeping an open mind.
