Goodbye, Blog

I agreed with most of this article and I know who Alan Jacobs is up at Wheaton. But I think he's a little off target on what most people think about blogs? I do believe blogs are a great starting point for conversations, because they provide the information necessary for good conversaton. But I never thought of blogs and the comments that people post as being good conversations themselves.

I for one plan to keep using the heck out of netvibes to keep me updated on the information I'm interested in. Most of my conversations with people are informed from these many blog postings.

What do you guys think?
