You mean, 'conversation' the frickin' most overused word in the English Langage?

(Warning: Self-reference in link...)

you're article is right on target, although ... ahem ... that would make me a blogging street walker by your standards.

i just think there needs to be a distinction between the personal practice of blogging and the obvious commercial use of the technology --even if that value involves only personal and not a corporation.

but granted, 'conversations' and 'people-powered' and two of the most ovehyped technology-related words ever.
