Around The Blogosphere 15 November 2010

I always enjoy the discussion of how this or that company's product will kill email. We seem to have it every 5 years or so. (Just like we discuss the "next big thing" that will kill off the blog. First it was vlogging, then it was "lifestreaming") Last time, it was Wave (I got big laugh out of that one). Now, Facebook thinks it will be the giant killer. Ho-hum! Think again!
