  • StevenHodson  thanks for picking up on this. I wasn't sure how it would be recieved as I honestly don't know that much about the mobile space but I know if I lived in a metropolitan area that had good WiFi coverage I would serious consider using such a device.

  •   Julian Baldwin  Steve, The iPod touch is a similar device on the high end that may serve as a role model and learning experience to get to where you are talking. Even if the idea you have kind of falls into the background, it's a great leap forward in encouraging people to start thinking about ways to convert tools into utilities. I'm really hoping more people build conversation around the idea, but we'll have to wait and see.

  • StevenHodson  Don't think too hard until after your vacation. Use that time to recharge your batteries and then see how you feel. Personally I think the scope of what you post about is just fine. Maybe all you really need is a change in the design of the blog .. nothing like a fresh coat of paint to rejuvenate one's surroundings :)

  • StevenHodson  I don't think the blog is losing importance but I do think that the way it is being found, read and susequently shared has changed dramatically over the last little while. During this transition period I think that what we are seeing is a possible shake out ahd lines of definition being drawn. I've said before that I think that blogs are slowly evolving into three (possibly four) distinct types. We have the "news" type of which sites like TechCrunch and the other top 10 tech blogs would fall into. Then we have what I would call the magazine - editorial type which is where I would even place your blog Jason because you write good informative full length posts on bot tech and the movies (my go to for good movie reviews if truth be told). Then we have the remaining blogs which cover everything from general interest to personal journals. The real game changing is happening in the second range of blogs and this is where it is harder to monetize and requires more work to get the brand out there for the eyeballs to see. It also makes it harder for them to attract advertisers at this point because the advertisers are all geared to the page view driven "news" blogs/sites. As well this doesn't have to be boring or a game as we are already doing to a smaller degree - we just have to figure out how much we want to step up our "game" so to speak.
