As you that follow this blog or podcast know, concision of expression is not my strong suit. I'm trying to boil down a notion I have scattered through casts and blog posts down to an absurdly simple sound bite. If anyone can help me digest this even further, please jump in.

To think that podcasts are about the next step of blogs is wrong in the same way as thinking that the X-Prize is about the next step of taxi cabs.

Here's a post that is on to what I'm thinking. He begins with the statement " I have stopped listening to the radio on my commute." Bloggers who keep saying that blogs work better because you "can skim them, read faster" ad nauseum are, to put it bluntly, fucked. They are complaining that the rules of nickle-ante game don't apply when you go to the $100K ante. If you think they should, you ain't got the ambition or vision to play in the big games.
