As much as I'd be greatful for being paid to start a blog, I'm not sure what the point of it is. Aren't there like a bazillion blogs out there already that are absolutely desperate for traffic.

And on the other hand, as a consumer of such information, I find it harder and harder to find original indie blogs. I'm still looking for a good blog search engine that allows me to find blogs on Niche topics. does anyone else have this problem? or is it just me? the best i can usually find is something on quora.
