Absolutely. For many subjects, the best sources of all are not traditional treeware. It's the authority of the source that matters, not the medium, in my view.
Remember also that most of our articles are not controversial - we should take care not to make rules from special cases.
e.g. [[EXA]] - a minor topic, though significant enough for an article in its tiny area (3D acceleration for the X.Org X11 server). One of the references is to a blog! Worse yet, it's the original developer's blog! Yet I submit there is no reason whatsoever to consider this any less reliable as a source on this particular subject than a printed publication would be.
