I think Money is OK, but I don’t have a subscription to it anymore but do subscribe to many a blog. It’s not suprising, Money has vested interest to protect it’s readership from being poached.

I’m surprised about the negative jab at PF Blogs. I think we’ll all see that eventually give way to a great acceptance and preference for blogs in the future. Just like all the reviews on Amazon, word of mouth is still the preferred way that people find out and trust trying new things.

Especially when it comes to personal finance, since people just want an everyday voice talking to them and trying to help, not trying to sell them a product.

SO I agree with HeMan.

The blogosphere is going to eventually dominate the magazine industry much like the internet has done for print newspapers. There are a couple of things that have to happen first, but really, it’s all just a matter of time.

Well, unless there are like a thousand personal finance blogs that I’ve never seen that are completely rubbish, I think the blogosphere is at least the equal of the print stuff. Looking at it from their point of view, if they said that blogs were just as good as magazines, then who would be buying their product?

GRS is also one of my favorite PF blogs.

I just subscribed to Money so I’ll have to check out that article when it arrives.

Personally I’m waiting for media outlets like Money Magazine to admit that they are not superior to, but only equal to, the blogosphere. Opinions are opinions, whether online or in print. There’s still a prejudice by the print media to think they are superior, but it’s unfounded. Good for GRS and CC, well-deserved – 90,000 subscribers is not a number that should be disregarded by any media outlet.
