Following your link I read something at Buzz my Blog. I'm just wondering. People read blogs for content. If, for a blogger, money comes first, how can he/she offer real GOOD content?
Good question. I think people can do both. Indeed there are people who are in it for the money and just know how to make money without offering good content. But those sites tend to fizzle over time. Jeff does a good job of breaking this sort of question done.
I fear that sites like mine (and I suspect yours) have a tougher time earning a buck. We're more about content/ideas/writing etc.
I don't caro MOR. You would know better than me. My quick superficial instincts tell me no - Italians are not exactly proponents of utilitarianism. Italians don't strike me as a society that gets terribly caught up in philosophy and theories - glorious (and scandalous)history notwithstanding. Personally, I guess I've always enjoyed the writings of Mill and Bentham.
Well, I didn't mean Italians follow (or not follow) utilitarian philosophies etc. I just simply meant they often do things just for the sake of it, and not for money ...

Could one say that Italians tend to be less ....on the utilitarianism side?
