The blogosphere is dead, long live the blogosphere

Jeneane Sessum adandons the role of "tech blogger" long enough to remember when she was a person who blogged. Funny, heartfelt, bitter-sweet, all rolled up into one great post.
"sometimes i get email saying damn, j., it's nice you're posting all this interesting stuff since you left your last gig, and we're glad you have work, and it's nice to hear about web2.0 and photo sharing and chewing gum and contests, but remember when you used to actually w-r-i-t-e shit?"
It's almost a shame that this will end up on Tech Memeorandum, because the race to game TM is exactly what she is crying out against. So, if you feel the urge to pile on to this one, stop and ask yourself why, and think about what has been lost. I've only been blogging a few months, so I guess I have no right to say any of this, but Jeneane has made me see what has been lost. Jeneane, whatever has changed, you are "writing" now and you sincerely touched me, so maybe it isn't lost.
