Lack Of A Viable Business Model Is Stifling Software Innovation (TechWeb)

Lack Of A Viable Business Model Is Stifling Software Innovation (TechWeb)

Winer can be seen as somewhat self-serving touting Weblogs; that's what his ompany does.

Not knowing who Winer is a priori, I have to admit that this statement seems to be the most cogent and relevant one in the entire article.

If you have a hammer, everything looks like a nail. If you sell hammers, you are going to tell everybody that everything is a nail.

If Weblogs become the answer to everything, I will personally eat my shirt. I don't doubt they will be useful, have a role, but somehow the idea that Weblogs being a significant player in solving communcation problems seems more absurd than the the idea that soon we'll be writing everything in Java (which we were told a few years ago).
