Geek Blogging is in Decline

p0 writes " Geek blogging is in decline. Can the geek bloggers be saved? Saving is probably not the right word, because there is always going to be a market place for the Dave Winers of this world; it's just that their audience will continue to shrink in relation to market share in comparison to other existing, and yet to be written blogs. [New consumer] bloggers aren't going to be interested in Winer driving a car and finding free internet access, nor Scoble playing with alpha technologies with other geeks whilst seemingly camped out in someone's office."

Found in a blog, even.

I guess that makes it news if you find it in a blog.

Yah geek blogging is dead.

Meh.

In related news, early adopters are eventually joined by late adopters in an event that has been dubbed as "popularity."

Historical point -- when the word "weblog" was coined, Slashdot was *the* prototypical example. C'mon, judging from your UID, you've been here long enough to know that.

And FYI, Dawson's Creek ended maybe three years ago....

Good news

Hopefully the ordinary blogging will follow.

I don't know, isn't there a sci-fi show on cable somewhere right now? That can explain geeks not responding in a timely manner.

Bloggers perhaps

But there seems to be a glut of excellent Geek Podcasts - I guess that eventually there were so many of us that a few had to end up with some form of charisma.

Monkeys, Typewriters, you know the drill. Imagine if you will that when we reach some 'critical mass' of geeks, one of us will statistically be socially adept and even capable of balancing an active social life with rampant Geeking-out. It's like the Matrix only with less IP theft.

The Dave Winer's of the world?

Simple law of the survival of the fittest. Failure to breed leads to extinction.

You forgot: Google does $something

All the true geeks have moved on to the true blogs

By which I obviously refer to the one true geek blog (found all over the net):

Bugzilla.
