When Khris and I showed Robert Scoble Echo prior to the Launch at the Real-Time Crunchup he said “Wow, Blogs are Back!”. – Chris Saad
As early adopters, it's our job to never be satisfied. In 2004, Blogger became mainstream; suddenly everyone had a worldwide voice. Then came Delicious with shared bookmarks in the cloud, Flickr built community around photos, and Digg changed the way we read news. Then came the real-time web.
Micro blogging is short and sweet and can scale both technically and consumptively. Twitter, FriendFeed, and Google Reader allow us to communicate in near real time so that we can virtually chat or carry on an asynchronous conversation.
It's exciting where we've ended up technologically, but we can't ever be satisfied. We must always be a little hungry. It's time to take back ownership of our content.
It's too easy to set up a blog on Blogger, or Wordpress, Tumblr, or Posterous. Own your own domain and own the authority that goes with it.
