Quite Impressive
USA Today, via Yahoo! News, has a fairly standard article on blogging and its impact, but it has this interesting note on blogger fund-raising:
Bloggers have found they can make their soapboxes pay.
Moulitsas says he got $4,000 in less than 12 hours when he asked fans of DailyKos.com to help him pay for a new server.
Sullivan last year hosted a Public Broadcasting Service-style pledge drive on his blog. He says he got almost $100,000.
Readers of Joshua Micah Marshall's blog, TalkingPointsMemo.com, sent him more than $4,000 to finance a reporting trip to New Hampshire.
I thought Sullivan might get several thousand from his fund-rasing drive. $100,000 is a pretty impressive figure and says quite a bit about the influence Sullivan has.
