Comments on: Explaining the Lull of 2007? http://disruptivethoughts.com/2007/03/22/explaining-the-lull-of-2007/ Thu, 20 Nov 2008 17:33:36 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.2 By: Fraser http://disruptivethoughts.com/2007/03/22/explaining-the-lull-of-2007/#comment-23703 Fraser Wed, 28 Mar 2007 15:40:19 +0000 http://disruptivethoughts.com/2007/03/22/explaining-the-lull-of-2007/#comment-23703 I think it is very possible that it's the later. And, I also think that the "disproving" of Peter's thesis by showing that Techcrunch and Gigaom etc. are experiencing rising traffic levels rather than decreasing amounts actually helps to support the thesis. Two possible reasons: 1) with so much more noise, they're able to cover so much more "content"; 2) early traffic was driven by (to borrow from Moore's technology adoption curve) innovators and early-adopters and now traffic is rising significantly because the much larger early-majority is getting involved in the space. Anyway, stay tuned for cowboy hats and high heel boots at Disruptive Thoughts (it's about time) I think it is very possible that it’s the later.

Personally, I don't know the answer to that. I do know that my thoughts are waning. Maybe I need to Madonnaize the site and reinvent Disruptive Thoughts.

One of the conclusions I came to is that I became soft: Looking beyond the deeper meanings and cultural implications of the technology and instead focusing on the flash. Two years ago I was fairly confident I could say what the web would look like today and I'm not sure I can do that any longer . . . I also think I've been reading too many marketing blogs and it's turned my brain to mush, but that's a whole other issue. You know it’s funny, I’ve been asking myself the same question.
