Comment on Whats the Buzz ?? It still just tastes like chicken by howardtharp

I agree that Buzz “tastes like chicken.” (Heh, I love your use of this expression for tech. I will steal it ;D ).

That said, I still experience a “wow” moment multiple times a week when using tech tools. I see tools doing things in new, fresh ways constantly. (Sometimes it’s even done by the same parties guilty of the me-too dance.)

Is it possible two things are happening concurrently:

The industry gets very reactive when a disruptive player enters the picture, playing catch-up with both integration (Facebook, LinkedIn) and imitation (Google, Facebook.)

2)
The industry also innovates and improves constantly.
Tools like Google Docs, Tumblr, Vimeo, all do some amazing wizardry, both in terms of big helpful feature-sets, and small, smooth pleasantries.

I’d not seen EPIC2014 before so thanks but I don’t agree with you on the newspapers though. Most just print trash and even the so called quality papers only print news we’ve already seen on TV. People will read books for entertainment but newspapers are old hat already.
