Thanks Amy for your comments. The topic of conversational media is interesting. I am sure I will learn a lot from your blog too.
Have a great evening there.

Great article, Rajesh.
Personally, I think what you said has applications, and implications, that extend far beyond blogs. Weblogs are but one high-profile aspect of a more significant phenomenon: The rise of conversational media.
Since conversational media relies on a sense of community, your point about thought leaders is especially relevant. Thought leaders are extremely influential in any community, and conversational media only magnifies that facet of human society.
However, I *do* think it’s possible to ignore blogs and other types of conversational media. And I think many people will choose to. It just doesn’t suit everyone’s preferences. However, I think over time those who do ignore conversational media will start to feel, and become, increasingly marginalized.
IMHO, of course.
