Blogzilla vs Realitron

Chris Houchens (Shotgun Marketing Blog) posts about not posting.
I don't subscribe to the philosophy that mandates you have 8 posts a day, check your technorati ranking every hour, and do nothing but blog and go to conferences (or "un"conferences) with other bloggers.
Neither do I. Possibly because I'm lazy. Chris also links to a brilliant post by Mack Collier on blogger-reality vs, well, reality.
I think we bloggers sometimes lose sight of the fact that while something might be big-time in the blogosphere, that doesn't mean that the majority of America cares, or worse yet, even knows what we are talking about.
This kind of ties in with my Scoble/Gates leaving post. The blogosphere has a tendency of blowing itself out of proportions. While it is changing facets of business, marketing, etc... blogging is, to many people out of the sphere, a passtime for frustrated writers.

Speaking of conferences (or un-conferences), bloggers flock to them because it's the blogosphere masked as the real world. A real world where A-listers can fix any problem by "blogging about it", people look familiar because you've seen them on Flickr and everyone checks their RSS subscriptions hourly on sticker-riddled MacBooks.
