An official decision has been reached in

An official decision has been reached in the Long Bet between Dave Winer and Martin Nisenholtz of the NY Times. The bet was made in 2002 when Winer asserted that:

In a Google search of five keywords or phrases representing the top five news stories of 02007, weblogs will rank higher than the “New York Times” Web site

Winer won the bet but it’s worth noting that the Times has a growing stable of good blogs itself. (via workbench)
