Just takes momentum first.</p> The catch 22 is how a new blogger can build traffic — they almost have to use twitter now (as well as facebook, linkedin, guest blogging and any other technique possible).

I have been blogging since 2002 and I will continue with it. I like the concept of a lifestream for your worklife. I commented on Steve Ruble's decision in my latest post, Lifestream And Worklife.

I dropped Scoble a year or two back, primarily (I think) because he was telling us that FriendFeed would be his primary comms channel. I dropped Rubel yesterday when I decided his lifestreaming concept wasn't usable. I haven't gone back to Scoble, and don't see any reason to; and Rubel's going to have a very hard time getting me back.

Why? Because blogging works. And if the first-wave earliest adopters are now bored of it, and trying to get their kicks somewhere else, I take that as a good sign.

Incidentally, I now regret missing that Geek Dinner even more. Thanks for sharing. :)
