Well, here's some things to consider: 1) I've interviewed more than 200 CEOs over at http://www.scobleshow.com in just the past 11 months. Go watch some videos. You might learn something. 2) I read more than 800 blogs and pick the best ones for you at http://www.google.com/reader/shared/14480565058256660224 -- compared to that blog this is definitely boring. Really boring. 3) I have a new Kyte.tv channel where I'm putting interesting people. CEO of ActiveWords was on there yesterday. So was the most famous blogger in Singapore. http://www.kyte.tv/scobleizer 4) I Twitter most days at http://www.twitter.com/scobleizer 5) My Facebook aggregates a whole bunch of things. Why don't you add me there? But, no, it's easier to just say "your blog is getting really boring." Why don't you write your own and show me how it's done? James: really?

There isn't really anything interesting anymore to read on your blog. And many people I know are really tired of reading your everyday adventures. They should be kept for a Britney Spears fan blog. This blog is losing quality. Your blog is getting really boring. There isn’t really anything interesting anymore to read on your blog.

I suppose they're trying to figure it out before turning it back on again: http://www.theregister.co.uk/2007/07/31/facebook/ I think that is worse than a random outage. An object lesson in the fragility of an ecosystem with no diversity. Facebook itself (or the web2.0 fb koolaiders) want a nice neat new fast infrastructure with which the world shares their personal stuff in a controlled manner, because getting it off the internet means no more hassles with standards and interoperability and companies that flame out, but they ignore the dark side of that wish.

I really hate the idea that because someone has a diehard following that this person is actually contributing more than anyone else. After leaving the Microsoft echo chamber of blogs I have found that there are many great tech bloggers out there that work on anything but the Microsoft platform. This has in turn made me into a more pragmatic and better programmer and teacher. It just proves the point that listening to the minority at times can yield better results than listening to the mob. Robert,
