Massive or Collective or Gang may be a debating point, but I am getting more and more surprised about the impact of this blog.

To add to press quotes and mentions of intelligent debate (sometimes quoted as fact, we are now finding ourselves more and more discovered in the blog world.

Since starting up a music blog, a couple of months ago, I get a lot of contact from fellow fans. When you look at their sites, there are lots of links to Word magazine.

The links go further to either a bit of text mentioning the blog, or a link to the blog itself.

Could it be that we will be voice of reason as the papers drop one by one?

On a more serious note, I'm amazed at how much time and effort, some people put into these blogs. I get irritated some times at putting in an average of an hour a night and don't get loads done.

Some of these sites, must be virtually full time occupations, probably for divorcees.

Most are a real labour of love.
