Back to the blog-journalism issue, I think the nature of the blog is, as Dean says, more opinion than journalism. People don't research things heavily so they can blog them. But a highly-connected network of thousands of people will sometimes scoop a small group of professionals, just because one of them happens to have a first- or second-person account.
I don't think we'll replace real newsies, but as our network grows, it'll happen from time to time.
