Basically I'd agree that a team of bloggers will be able to generate a greater income than any single individual simply by virtue of their being more of them and them having a wider range of skills to pull from. But the notion that you aren't "building a business" is bull. Anything that enables you to earn a living from doing it is a business. Anyone who attempts to argue otherwise is just playing with words. Is it a sustainable model? Hard to tell yet what with blogs being so young. Is it going to challenge Time Warner? Well no, but then neither do most small businesses. You don't have to have an empire in order to have a business.

I still consider my "one man band" a business that is more than a product. I can sell my business at any time and I would not be selling a product, but a business. Like you said, the only difference is the scale of the operations. But, the advantage of a one man operation is low operating costs and the ability to make quick and firm decisions. Well said Darren.
