Another blogger upside story

Christian Crumlish

I think we need to coin yet another neologism, perhaps "blogvertigo" for that swoon a blogger feels when starting down another one of those endlessly branching (till the browser crashes) web expeditions while trying to decide what to save and what to comment on. Next thing you know you're at BoingBoing and the rest of the day is shot.

Relevant to the occasional mission of this blog (blogging about blogging about blogging) is this report of another happy outcome for a blogger:

Blog-novel to become paper-novel: Patrick Nielsen Hayden — blogger, senior editor for Tor Books — announces on his blog this morning that, "...I really did make a publication offer, on behalf of Tor Books, to a writer named John Scalzi for a science fiction novel he had serialized on his web journal. And he very graciously accepted."
