Not sure if you’ve heard the news.

Blogging is dead. Social media is dead. Oh, and the whole damn world wide web is dead.

Oh, and I heard about it on blogs, social media and the world wide web. Ironic, I know. The truth, though, is that…

Creativity Is Dead

When you have nothing else to say as a tech blogger, just declare something dead. People will talk about you.

One of the biggest idiot-bait stories of late was Wired Magazine’s declaration that the web was dead. They even documented it with a pretty chart:

The story was a sensationalist headline with a boring point. The Internet is evolving. That is all.

This weekend, Leo Laporte chimed in by saying he was disabused with social media. He had a bad experience with Google Buzz and knee-jerked into saying social media was a waste of time and that he was just going to blog more.

What was funny about the whole thing was the reaction it garnered. All the social media fans of the world got in on it as if Leo was insulting their first born. Leo, I’m sure, got a lot of traffic from the resulting discussion.

So, if they can do it, so can I. So….

Twitter Is Dead.

OK, not really. But, I’ll say it is. Then, maybe, people will talk about it on Twitter.

If they don’t talk about it on Twitter, then it just proves I was right.

So there.
