SKIRMISHER

When bloggers attending the SXSW conference were told by Bruce Sterling they’re going to be “extinct” in 10 years, they giggled and poked little sticks at one another.

Bruce Sterling said:

“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.”

And unexpectedly, bloggers oohhed and ahhed at his feet, begging for more of that delicious spanking.

Stumble it!
