Arrington created an uproar with his post about how blogging was like fast food restaurants. Everyone climbed on board with a whole bunch of opinions about whether he was right or wrong.
After really paying attention to the content of many of the big boys afterwards I would suggest that instead of being fast food blogging is more like Chinese food. You’re full for about five minutes and then all of a sudden you’re hungry again.
Prime example: RSS Reader Market in Disarray, Continues to Decline.
On Twitter I called bullshit. Mark ‘Rizzn’ Hopkins suggested it sounds more like problems with Feedburner stats. I think that was being too nice.
The basis of a post that is nothing but supposition. Web-based RSS readers and other such RSS services. No numbers of desktop applications. No numbers from developers like Brent Simmons or Nick Bradbury. You can’t make an all encompassing statement based on a small section of a complete market.
Pure supposition based on flakey web numbers at best, all centered around the use of one early adopter.
Wonton soup at its best.
