# Blog Networks are the new black

This from [Sir Robert Scoble](https://web.archive.org/web/20060315003633/http://radio.weblogs.com/0001011/2005/08/11.html#a10828):

*“Watch for more business deals and from places you wouldn’t expect them. I’m hearing from several of my friends, for instance, that AOL is looking for media properties blogging networks.”*

Interesting… I wonder if AOL read my [Network of Niches post](https://web.archive.org/web/20060315003633/http://www.readwriteweb.com/archives/002794.php) – I know some MSN folks did 😉 That post, and [the one before it](https://web.archive.org/web/20060315003633/http://www.readwriteweb.com/archives/002792.php), caught the attention of a few Blog Network owners who pinged me afterwards. I won’t lie to you – I’m hoping one of them signs me up, pronto.

You see, I finish at my day job on 24 August and I’m fishing for some blog writing work. I want to do some paid blogging to complement the analysis/research work I’m already doing.

If you’d like to hire a smart, focused, analytical Web 2.0/RSS/Social Media dude for your blog network – [send me an email](https://web.archive.org/web/20060315003633/mailto:readwriteweb@gmail.com).

This offer won’t last – someone is sure to snap me up very soon in this blog network bubble 😉
