Another blog network

Entrepreneur and author John Battelle plans to launch an advertising network for blogs later this fall. The network, dubbed FM Publishing (with FM standing for Federated Media), will launch with between 10 and 20 technology-related blogs, including Boing Boing, as well as Battelle's own SearchBlog. Battelle said he also is considering including blogs that cover culture for the network. Battelle, who co-founded Wired magazine and also founded The Industry Standard, said he is only inviting "high-quality, high-authority" blogs into the network. (Via Mediapost)
