Geek Blogging is in Decline

[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."

    "Geek blogging in decline."

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