Frustration

It's frustrating. People are talking about interesting things - such as mobile blogging as killer app, and I feel I can't really comment on them.

Full disclosure: I work for Orange as a customer experience manager, looking first and foremost on data products. It's nice to see ideas such as this, mainly because I've written (almost to the letter) exactly the same thing in the past - as with any ideas that's grounded in common sense, several people will come up with such things at the same time completely independently of each other. However, my ideas often end in Word documents and Powerpoint presentations, rather than on a site such as this.

So, I guess the point of this is that at the moment, blogging as a whole tends to sit in a bubble. It's self referencing, and pretty self contained. For various reasons, wheels are reinvented, navels are gazed, and paths retrodden. This isn't neccessarily a bad thing: when it is realised that this is happening, it can be used for reflection and examination.

I sit here, on my hands, much as when Matt mentions the BBC.
