Aren't all journalists and authors paid to write what they write about? I think this is being taken way over board. Call me silly, but since I consider you a professional writer/speaker/consultant, I assume that you get paid for all these gigs. It may be more interesting to me if you disclosed that you didn't get paid.
Another thing that bothers me is how enthusiasts are being swept up in the whole blogger/journalist debate. Microsoft didn't invite webloggers to Mobius, they invited handheld computing enthusiasts. Some people have to realize that not all bloggers have journalistic ambitions. Just because a website has the form and style of a weblog doesn't all of a sudden make it something akin to the New York Times. After all, wouldn't anyone that reads a web site titled Pocket PC Thoughts expect it to be an advocate for Pocket PCs?
