From Splice Today: Blogs need to get together if they ever hope to replace the newspaper.
If blogs are to fill a void left by newspapers they need to go one step further: get a little Marxist and organize. This is actually already happening-blogs and bloggers that were at first members of a community are slowly metastasizing into something more concrete. There are three templates that we’ve seen so far, and I believe they will only get more pronounced as they go further. Named after their archetypal sites they are: The Sporting Blog model, the Huffington Post model, and The Fanhouse model.
