I enjoyed reading this. It was throught-provoking, and managed to find words for feelings I hadn't realized I had.
But the Stream, mobile applications, and moving images:
They all show a departure from a books-internet
toward a television-internet.
"books-internet" vs "television-internet": I agree in many ways, and yet I find myself reading and consuming more blogs now than I did a decade ago. Still, though, I tend to read them more when they pop up on my "stream" (well, mainly HN ;)) rather than going directly to various people's blogs.
