A new job for Alex Beam?: By now, most bloggers know of the now legendary column by Boston Globe columnist Alex Beam, who earlier this year made a jackass of himself by criticizing bloggers and then fell for a blogger’s April Fool’s joke. Bloggers quickly made mincemeat of poor Alex. Now comes Boston.com, the online subsidiary of the Globe. And what’s Boston.com up to? Go to this site and find out. Maybe Alex can write a column about how his employer appears to be commerically committing itself to blogging. Prediction 1: Alex Beam will be a blogger one day. Prediction No. 2: Alex Beam will like blogging. Prediction 3: Alex Beam will be good at blogging. Prediction 4: Alex Beam sooner or later is going to have to admit he was dead wrong about blogging.
