This is a very cool and thoughtful post. I definitely understand the feeling of information overload. So much is going on, it’s kind of hard to wrap your brain around it some times. That said, I think as a tech blogger that you get a chance to be a little bit of a visionary. It’s really easy to get caught up in rating the latest apple apps and trying to grab traffic from digg, et al by catering to a popular topic. It’s also really fun, but taking a step back to look at the big picture and offer thoughts and musings about where it all may be headed, I think that’s the fun part. And I think that sparks other people in the tech community and is a really valuable service.

@Robert: I could give you many reasons why tech blogging has ‘failed’ but fairly top of list for me would be 1. a failure to undertake meaningful analysis that locates technology in and around business 2. an assumption that all new things are ‘good’ without thinking about their implications 3. the PR driven nature of much of the stuff we see out there. 4. an unhealthy obsession with Google.

One of your prime sponsors is SAP. You know, boring old ERP, yet they remain one of the most interesting companies on the planet and have some of the most interesting and engaging people I’ve ever met. As does Oracle, Adobe, Microsoft and a few others. They’re old skool if you like but they get what delivers the bacon and pays the bills.

It may not be your thing but tech needs business just as much as business needs tech. That’s how the money gets made to support Silicon Valley the way it does. Learn to love the business just like I’ve had to learn to love the geeks. You might be surprised at what you discover.
