Cricket? Nobody understands cricket. You have to know what a crumpet is to understand cricket! (Kudos to you if you understand that reference)

Carla makes a good point. As the newer technologies evolve and the “newness” runs out, the technology loses it’s popularity and falls into place in more of a relevant fashion. Meaning people use the fax machine for a reason now instead of how they used it back in the day, just because it was new and cool.

The telephone, email, and instant messaging are still around, even though they have dwindled in popularity since then, but they each serve a purpose so people still use them. I suspect that micro-blogging, in the fashion that Twitter and Facebook have pioneered will be around in some form or another for the foreseeable future.

…and every though the fax machine is “dead”, its still being used many people and and companies – even in 2009. Every time my bank, insurance company, etc needs a signed document from me, they want me to FAX it. Not email, FAX.

Just like postal service, telephone and fax machine, I dont think social medial will ever totally die out.

Thanks Kim.

It’s the new rule of social media: “If you’ve got nothing to write about, predict Twitter’s death”.

Another one seems to be “If you’ve got nothing interesting to say on Twitter, start each tweet with ‘WOW!’.

The best is when those articles phrase it as “is blah the next blah killer”. I can’t stand the use of killer in that context.

I like to play point and click adventure games – since their heyday in the 90’s there has been non-stop discussion and articles about their demise. Well, they are still around – maybe more popular in some parts of Europe than the US but they aren’t dead yet. I get so tired of the conversation.
