I totally applaud this development. Whatever your blogging strategy may be, I personally believe that on average, you’re far better off going off to somewhere like Facebook and building your own social network with like-minded folk, based on your own collective interests, your own collective passions and own collective sense of merit, than loitering around the Blogopshere, waiting for some rockstar like Scoble, Arrington, Cory etc to link to you.
Meanwhile twitterers are trying out pownce, and micro-video-blogging is on its way…
So is the read/write web becoming more and more the victim of fickle fashion?
