The Net has a number of scale effects, some of which are highly counerintuitive, as this article suggests: even a site which does not rank high in absolute page views may still be a major source in a particular niche. Creating and exploiting such niches is one of the major virtues of the Web environment -- the large do not [and cannot] crowd out the small.
Read, marked, learned, and inwardly digested, this paper has some provocative suggestions about the information ecology of the Net in general, and by implication, about blogs in particular.
