Sure, 90% will be crap, but 90% of everything is crap (Sturgeon's law). If blogging goes mainstream then it means a bigger market for MT and everyone else. I suspect there are going to be some rather bitter ex-employees out there...

Google News and Google Answers are interactive, but I wouldn't imagine them to be server intensive. This new "Bloggle" index will be informational, but hosting 1.1 million weblogs is the most interactive endeavor that I have seen Google take on. I'll stick with Movable Type for now. --Tim http://www.lutero.com/weblog

One question they will need to answer up front, given bloggers' fixation on Google Rank, How can I be sure that my blog won't have a higher google rank if I use blogger pro? This will be fun to watch. I too looked on google news and didn't see anything. Edited 02-16-2003 02:47 AM
