What Is Commercial?

27 May 2003

Many of the weblogs I read are written by people who write, speak and consult (for a living) in the technology field. Their weblogs are their calling cards. While not directly promoting the fees they receive for writing, speaking or consulting, the weblog is their primary tool for promoting their views.

Shirley Kaiser’s weblog was denied entry into a portal based upon someone’s conclusion that her link to her ”commercial site” made the weblog ineligible.

As tools such as Movable Type become more adept at being content management systems for any website need, it seems the definition of ”commercial” may need some work.
