Interestingly, I got an email today from Austin Chase, the president of BlogTV.com. It seems, while searching daypop, they came across this entry where I mention that someone should put together a TV news program based on blogging. It appears they are pursuing just the same.

In the meantime, their website doesn't have much going on for it for now (check back in May), though it does refer people to blogchalking.com which appears to be an effort to add geographical relavence to blogs. Austin also mentioned a soon to be announced promotion that blogtv will be doing in conjunction with BlogShares and perhaps blogtv's intention to create an easy to use online blogging system for the masses. This is all well and good and I think there is much untapped potential in utilizing blogging on a grand scale, but I want my BlogTV! I wish them all the best, but until I can see my TV news utilizing blogging, they could just as well call themselves blogoverse.com. Oh wait, I own that.

Of course nothing happens overnight. You got that Mr. Orlowski?
