Bruce Sterling gives blogs 10 years to live

Science fiction writer and professional pundit Bruce Sterling has cracked bloggers with the extinction stick, saying the plebs will crawl back into their ooze by 2017.

“There are 55 million blogs and some of them have got to be good,” Sterling said, during a speech here at the SXSW conference in reference to the slogan on blog search site technorati.com. “Well, no, actually. They don’t….I don’t think there will be that many of them around in 10 years. I think they are a passing thing.”

The Chief has enjoyed some of Sterling’s books…and some of his reported comments make sense…but others…? Yeah, right. Whatever.
