NewsGator Acquires FeedDemon
So NewsGator acquires FeedDemon, interesting move by both company, and somehow after reading Nick's explanation on his blog I don't buy it. Both are RSS readers, both claim that they do more than just RSS reading but it's pretty much what those two software do, in fact FeedDemon is a direct competitor of NewsGator.
There's a lot of congratulation notes on Nick's blog post, but I suspect the general response will be "What the ...". On another note, I've been proven to be wrong ... many times :)

Blogging is a fad?
Scoble retorts to a report that said very few people are reading blogs. The "anti-blog-hype-backlash" is coming he reckons. I agree that blogging hype is not over, but I think Scoble need to swallow the bitter pill of truth that in fact there are very few people who read blogs.
Take a random sample people, how many do you think have heard the word "blog"? Let alone understand what the concept is about? On my own group of friends (which most work in the IT field), ex-co workers (barring Synop of course) and current co-workers, I am surprised at the number of people who actually know what a blog is, a few indeed. He is taking an example of his own blog on how quick you can spread the words, that’s a bit unfair :) he is an a-list blogger!
I'm not saying that's the blogging phenomenon is slowing down, but right at the moment it just doesn’t have number yet.
