Rafat Ali has a very interesting article on why 2003 might end up being the year Weblogs get bought up.

He suggests that rather than even being bought, a small number of very very popular webloggers might be taken on as salaried employees of some of the larger publishing houses. He also suggests some possible link-ups in the piece.

If you aren’t already looking at weblogs that are relevant to your industry or market segment, now might be a good time!

Boing Boing one of the most popular link weblogs, recently published their visitor numbers [Excel spreadsheet] – and any publisher would be very proud of similar readership numbers.

According to the numbers, Boing Boing gets over 200,000 unique visitors a month…. not bad for a web page.
