A Pulitzer Prize for Dave Winer (the bearded, prickly one)?

Blogging had its tenth birthday party this week. What a big big boy it has become. Even I acknowledge that not each and every 70 million bloggers are fools and not each and every one of their 1.5 million daily blogs are idiotic. The question is how to determine value...
