In some cases I've found that to be true and in some cases the perceived influence of a blog has an inverse relationship to how much value I place on the content. It seems to me we're seeing a lot of old-media thinking creep into those in the elite strata while a new wave of innovative thinking is creeping up from those a couple rungs down. Personally I'd rather be respected in my niche than have a high Technorati ranking. Do I want to make a couple bucks? Sure, but only because I put a lot of time and effort into the blog. But that's an afterthought. That's a long way of saying I agree with you and enjoyed the post.
