How is it that I’ve been posting the same comment about Calacanis for like the past 3 years?

He’s an idiot douchebag and deserves no attention.

@Tony – isn’t *everything* a bit more complicated in Jason’s case? ;)

Seriously tho – while I believe he honestly intends to do this, I also believe that he will reconsider sometime within the next year. Blogging sort of gets in your blood. It provides a level of interaction that email digests and microblogging doesn’t.

Jason, for all his ups & downs, has proven that he’s a smart guy. If he reanalyzes it and decides he wants to start blogging again, he will.

But sometimes you have to try a thing in order to decide whether or not to discard it.
E-mail digests are a step backwards from even Usenet – which while wonderful in its day, was even more time consuming than blog interaction.

@gregory — I disagree. We can talk and write about it because its about the larger issue of what blogging is and what it isn’t; and, where its going and how its evolving.
