Syntagma says "It's hard to see where blogging can fail in this Web 2.0 climate, unless there's a world depression of major proportions. The immense potential of blogging will continue to grow business for quite some time to come." That's great but there could very well be a recession coming after the housing bubble bursts.
Syntagma is apparently unaware of the coming blogospheric collapse: "The point is that if anything gets TOO popular it's own popularity eventually either crushes it out of existance (ala the pet rock) or there is a massive explosion that leave behind a tiny core of the original to putter along alone in the dark. Either way, I think blogs are going to blow up soon, and I don't mean that and the hip, cool way."

This list on Jack of All Blogs picked the top 10 women bloggers. Unfortunately, the list included blogger Joi Ito who is a man.
