Finally CNN's "blog chicks" are getting the attention they deserve. Getting name dropped on The Daily Show is one thing, but when the New York Observer sends its love, you know you've made it.

We've been loving the blog chicks too, otherwise known as CNN's own Vanna Whites, who sometimes point and touch giant computer screens as they jump from blog to blog, bringing the Internet's latest cultural whining to the forefront.

Blogs are the latest beat, and Abbi Tatton and Jacki Schechner are on it, folks.

In addition to giving the tinglies to CNN viewers and a voice to citizen journalists everywhere, the Blog Chicks are one possible answer to television news’ most loudly lamented conundrum: how to lure younger viewers without alienating older ones. Ms. Tatton and Ms. Schechner are supposed to appeal both to a tech-savvy audience hip to the latest in online communications, and to an older generation of people who actually watch CNN and have no idea what these so-called Web logs are anyway.

Oh, and they're supposed to appeal to grandpa's wanking while watching CNN in their ratty bathrobes. Vanna White hasn't secured this category just yet.
