Intrusion exclusion 
| | Unfortunately for people who are intrusive assholes, there's not much they can do. Hopefully they made a lot of money in the last century and can retire and be totally puzzled by the way things turned out. |
Here's your chance
| | Watching a demo of this. Searches buzz. Pretty fun stuff. You're bullish on podcasting; you buy shares of PODCAST stock. "We want to see if people game this." |

Go there, do that, cause the t-shirt
| | There are days when I think podcasting will be the next disco. Fun, important and off the radar screen for awhile, then co-opted by mass media and mass marketing. But you know what? After disco "died", it went back to being interesting again and out of that came a bunch of really cool records in the '80's. You will know how important podcasting is when you see someone wearing a "Podcasting Sucks" t-shirt. |
One person, one blog. So far.

"My own 2¢: Nobody dominates the blogosphere. What makes the 'sphere is indomitability. Of anyone. By anyone else."
The thing is though: the folks who tend to talk about "the blogosphere", and the blogs they tend to point to as representing "the blogosphere", are a very small subset of the total sphere of blogs!
I would ask: since anyone can write a weblog, why is the blogosphere dominated by techy - news junkies?
The techy - news junky blogs talk about (and link to) each other a lot, and tend to be the ones publicly showing-off the mantle of "the blogosphere"--marching to "the blogosphere" tribe beat.
Meanwhile, most bloggers actually enjoy a very different sphere of influence and discovery ;-)

Anything anybody points to will be a subset.
My point still is that nobody "dominates" anything.
If you, or anybody, says something provocative (positively or negatively) and quotable on a blog with an RSS feed tomorrow, it will get picked up by someboy searching for (or subscribed to searches for) the search terms involved. And stuff will happen. And nobody will dominate or get dominated.
And while blogs appear to be dominated by techies and political junkies right now, watch out. In a year or two or three, people will be blogging every subject you can name. And the "alpha" blogs will be nobody you know today.
