In May 2005, Simon [http://www.techcentralstation.com/052005G.html told] [[Tech Central Station]] that the purpose of Pajamas Media is twofold: "The first is to give bloggers access to more advertising revenue -- in addition to what many bloggers are receiving from [[Henry Copeland]]'s [[BlogAds]]. The second is to develop a Blog News Network that will do what many bloggers fear [[Google]] will no longer do; aggregate blog posts on various topics and present them for bloggers and blog readers to peruse and search through."
