Patron Saint of Blogging: Milton Friedman

Excerpts from Milton Friedman: Rightful Patron Saint of Blogging:

The beauty of blogging is self regulation at its very best.

The “blogosphere” is like a little experimental universe validating consumer choice vs. regulation—and consumer choice has won a colossal victory.

Left to the free market of ideas and instant reader feedback, good writing, quality and reliability in blogging secures a readership and reputation solely on merit.

Friedman should be the patron saint of the Age of Blogging: people with brains, networks, and powers of self-expression don't wait for journalism degrees anymore to have an impact.
