在CW中文区停止活动的时候,HUNG曾提到过,已经被AOL收购的Weblogs和Gawker Media算是目前"幸存"的运营状况正常的商业化Blog Network组织,他们的Blogger成员收入相对会稳定些。但是,在上一次提到“AOL关闭三项在线存储服务,压缩Blog Network开销”消息的时候,已经可见,所有的Blog Network都在受影响。今天,看见Flickr上的一个截图(上图),部分文章的作者署名已经变成了XXXX Blogger,通过了解,绝大部分的非美国地区的 Weblogs成员Blogger都将不再获得收入了:
". . . our two biggest sites are cleared, but the rest of the sites are working on a 5 posts/day deal, so long as those aren't written by international bloggers, but only US writers. Anything above and beyond that is unpaid and will be written under a staff account. Nearly everyone has agreed to post for free, including columnists, in the hopes that we will all still have jobs come August 1, when they're telling us we'll be back - just on a smaller budget."
