Karlin Lillington tells us that William Gibson is ending his blog. While I agree that this is a loss, it's not an earth shattering loss to me. I'm a Gibson fan, and I'll be able to read what he writes -- I might not get all the background that could be picked up from the blog, but I'll get something. I got into blogs because I found that the technical bloggers were producing a lot of interesting and worthwhile stuff. So while I'm sad to see Gibson go, I'd be alot sadder to see Carlos, Rickard, Jon Tirsen, Jon Udell, Sam Ruby, or any of a number of other folks end their blogs.

I got on Usenet back in 1984, before it became a cesspool, and I learned a lot from reading posts in the technical newsgroups. Today's technical blogosphere has the same feel to it for me. I always find at least one interesting thing to consider or learn.
