Hi,

Always enjoy your blog. Realize it is hard to talk about MS stuff for obvious reasons. However, your insight into tech trends, consumer stuff, relationship to person and machine, always present great insight.

Maybe you could talk about the future of bloging. I think it was Forrester that projected that Blogging would peak-out and decline in the fall of 2007. Part of the issue seems to be all the noise that blogging creates in the cosmic specturm of individual knowledge. If I stand on a street corner and shout information, people have a way of voting on if the information is sticking by walking away or staying. A passerby can in effect gain some measure of the importance of the message by how many folks are still listening after a few minutes. In other words, we in part, determine the importance of the message by the collection that continues to listen to it. Sure we can vote and sure we can count, but how else might we collectively assess which channels are worth listening to without having to read every message.

Just thoughts...
