Three Blog Night

Austin American-Statesman political columnist Dave McNeely now has a blog, making the Statesman a three-blog newspaper. He'll continue doing his regular column, but promises to post to his blog, called "Inside Texas Politics", when events warrant:

Updates will be as long or as short as necessary to get the job done. And they won't show up every day. The hottest tips and best political news will show up first.

Excellent. Honestly, is there any reason for a newspaper not to do stuff like this? It's free, it's easy, and it'll generate traffic. I'm amazed more of them haven't figured it out. Hats off to the Statesman for being such a pioneer.
