It's only a matter of time before someone comes out with a parlor game edition of "Are Weblogs Mainstream Yet?" The media have been playing this game for months, and despite so many headlines hinting that indeed, weblogs are now mainstream, the text of such articles seems to beg off from that notion.
Traditional-media journalists are hedging. Glaser theorizes that someone big like Saddam Hussein or Michael Jackson has to start a blog before the traditional media declare them mainstream. How about Barbie? She's been around since 1959, not nearly as long as Saddam (born 1937), but for just slightly less time than Jacko (born 1958). And she has a weblog!
