Jay Rosen on About.com


Jay Rosen summarizes the reasoning behind the About.com purchase (and collates dozens of other great comments on the acquisition): "I'm a blogger, not a company. I couldn't tell you if this page has the proper meta-data-- or any. My search engine optimization method is to get a lot of links by writing something original and useful that people will elect to recommend at their own sites. It works (sometimes.) But only because my links don't expire."
