I'm seriously considering shutting this blog down. Whether or not I do, one thing is for certain: I don't want to pretend to be some kind of "social media consultant" I've come to the conclusion that there isn't (or shouldn't) be any expert wisdom when it comes to sharing information with people.
I very simply am just another geeky "early adopter" internet junkie. After spending more time reading blogs not on the digg rotation, I've decided that being "real" is far more interesting than trying to imitate Techcrunch and write press release garbage. There's a place for that kind of thing, and some people do it really well. I do plan to continue to follow tech development that indexes, tracks, and disrupts on my other blog, but as far the whole "social media" is concerned, I kicking it casual from here on out.
I originally started this blog to save my favorite posts from digg and had the idea of doing kind of a extended commentary on stuff I felt strongly about or just very interested in. It's never really taken off because I don't have the time to write as polished of pieces as I want too, and in larger part because I never, ever leave the damn digg site long enough too.
Perhaps I'll get back to this original concept. In the event that I don't and you are (or fancy yourself to be) a "social media" blogger/person/consultant/entrepreneur/ regular old person: I'm listening to any ideas or even offers for the domain.

I understand the sentiment. I like a lot of the features and ideas involved in web 2.0, but on the whole it seems that the more people adopt something the less interesting it becomes. Digg was pretty cool when it was a few months old. Now it's full of the kind of shit people forward around corporate offices. Eventually the mindless, aimless clicking gets old, and the community function loses its charm... -antix the curmudgeon.
Yeah, I agree that Social Bookmarking has lost its newness and charm. However, I do enjoy reading your blog, for whatever it is worth.
