Maciej Ceglowski demands four minutes and twenty seconds of your life. This one is a highly recommended reading (ehm, sorry, I mean listening).
What’s a trend, by the way? For me blogging is not a trend. Mobile phones are no trend either. “Why?”, you might ask. Well, the answer is, it’s actually not a trend, because it will last. There will always be bloggers and there will always be mobile phones in the world of humans. Even in 100 years. I’m quite shure of that, believe me. But what is a trend, then? Again, hear my glory answer: A trend is something, that is cool for some time, but after any given period of time a trend will slowly fade out of our society at regular intervals. Remember the Skyper? That was cool, wasn’t it? People used it all over Germany just a few years ago. I think it was around 1995-1997 or so. Now you can buy them at Ebay. I’ll dig deeper into that one at a later date, if I remember. That could be a Dave Winer topic, I think. On the other hand, I’m not that entrepreneur type of guy I would have needed to be to claim that.
