All Google blogs eventually have at least one human reader

Wired rehashes the whole MP3 blog phenomenon: It's file-sharing, but it's also good publicity so the music industry tends to warily support it, etc.

What was new in the article, to me anyway, was this tidbit about how Google polices its free Blogger blogs:

"Google denies responsibility for content on the AdSense network and says it acts fast when it identifies publishers who violate its terms of service. And to enforce this policy, Google reviews participating sites to weed out content that violates the AdSense terms-of-service contract.

"'In the same way we crawl websites (for our search service), we crawl publisher websites to flag information that may violate our policy,' says Google spokesman Brandon McCormick. 'Every site at some point goes through a manual review. It's something we take very seriously.'"

Can you imagine having that job? Reminds me of the kid in the Dr. Seuss book tasked with mowing the fast-growing grass...
