I'M WAITING TO HEAR MORE . . . Last month, Elizabeth Spiers of DealBreaker.com announced a new legal weblog "edited by 'Underneath Their Robes' blogger and ex-Wonkette editor David Lat." David Lat confirmed the news here.
It sounds interesting, doesn't it--a legal gossip weblog by David Lat? I'm waiting to hear more about the weblog, while hoping never to be mentioned in its pages.
I'm also wondering why it's taking so long to get it started. It's been a month since the announcement. Aren't people always saying that weblogs are easy?
I suppose it's different for big-name, professional bloggers like Lat, the Jeffrey Toobin of the legal blogosphere. Rather than practicing law while doing a bit a blogging on the side, he gets to "develop" a weblog as "project" that will eventually "take shape." And he gets paid to do it, too.
Where did the rest of us go wrong?
Well, David only started a couple of days ago. (Just because you hire someone doesn't mean they immediately drop what they're doing and show up at work the next day.) And it takes a few weeks to get the technology/ad sales/editorial ready for public consumption. But it's coming soon!
