They come up with this stuff every once in a while. Print media is always a step behind. I suspect they want blogging to be a dying trend so bad it becomes apparent and obvious in their pieces. Well, I consider myself a writer and I won't be going anywhere anytime soon boys. And from what I read and my own experience (I am part of an Internet business now) we're only in the early stages of all this. I'm surprised they don't see this.

Overall, was nice to see that a piece in Slate basically agreed that the NYT piece is a bit silly and "web trendy." Yes, it would be nice to see some major competition for Amazon one of these days!

Exponential growth can't go on forever. Frankly, it's amazing how fast things grew in the first place, and no surprise that they are settling back into a (still amazing) more predictable pattern. Good news for Best Buy and Half Priced Books, though, I guess - gives them a little more time to get everything online. Precisely. Exponential growth can’t go on forever.

Everyone I know (including myself) is buying, buying, buying on the internet -- more than ever!
