Blogger book craze could fizzle from overkill

"I just hope publishers with deep pockets don't squash the life out of blogs becoming books," said Clare Christian, publishing director of The Friday Project, a start-up firm dedicated to combing the Internet for book projects.

"It's like the dot-com boom all over again," added Paul Carr, Friday Project's editor in chief.

'In the same way that publishers knew they needed a Web site even if they didn't know what that was, they're just buying up blogs because they're hot."
