In an NY Times article about the “24-hour newspaper people”:

“Josh Quittner, editor of Business 2.0 magazine, recently asked his writers to come up with blogs, and he writes his own. He decided to encourage them with (small) bonuses based on the number of visitors to their blogs, after one of his star reporters, Om Malik, left the magazine to tend to his own immensely popular blog. (Mr. Malik still contributes a column to the magazine.) ‘I don’t want that to happen here again,’ Mr. Quittner explained.”

Go, Om!
