  • Nobody Goes to Facebook Anymore. It’s Too Crowded. « Uncrunched-
    uncrunched.com
    - Michael Arrington
    A year ago Steven Levy suggested that Facebook should give us each a single “friend-list do-over.”
    A lot of commenters challenged him. “Grow some balls and just unfriend people,” said one of the more even tempered readers. Another – “These comments are too constructive. Someone should just call this guy an idiot.”
    Steven probably didn’t see that criticism coming, because he probably assumed people understand how difficult it is to unfriend people on Facebook at any sort of scale. You have to fi…  show all text

    So uber-famous-corporate-blogger-ninja-rockstar Jerimiah Owyang blogged about The Golden Age of Tech Blogging being over. His colleague, my friend, Brian Solis doesn’t agree. Lots of other people are yakkin’ about it as well, it seems. I guess that’s a good thing. Here are my thoughts:

Want to know what the world would be like under SOPA? Read on. Sometime in 2009, Weebly was starting to gain momentum.
