At Wired right now is a piece of raw link bait, Twitter, Flickr, Facebook Make Blogs Look So 2004. The author says that blogging is dead. He says that blogs were once personal scribblings and insights, but they’ve now given way to pro-blogging marketing efforts. Need proof that blogging is dead? Look no further than Jason Calacanis who shut down his blog with much chest pounding. It is no surprise that the author finds blogs to be commercial and impersonal if he reads Jason Calacanis and Robert Scoble.

Seth Godin Advocates RSS and Does You a Horrible Disservice
Seth Godin is about to make a whole new batch of people miserable, by tuning them into the horrors of RSS, but he does not tell you about the horror. He is saying that it is a little radio. No, no its not. RSS is like a thousand disembodied voices screaming inside your head. It will drive you mad. Imagine opening up your email inbox and in addition to the 3,000 unread messages sent directly to you, you have everything that was published on the websites you visit regularly, sitting there, in your inbox, with a six digit unread count. It’s an inbox nightmare. Spare yourself. Do not use RSS.
