After six months, I have already logged more than 100,000 miles on one airline. Criss-crossing the country on planes with no internet or cellphone access has been a blessing. I read. I relax. I skip bad airplane food. I write my blog for Ad Age. And I have a chance to meet some of the most interesting people on the planet. Well, not always.

Digg’s founder, Kevin Rose, wonders if blogs have jumped the shark. I wonder if the phrase “jumped the shark” has jumped the shark, but I digress.
Picking up on this is Kansas City-based creative generalist Jeremy Fuksa.
It seems there’s a better way to share information. I hardly read RSS feeds anymore. I get all my links and information from tweets. All the blogs I truly care about tweet links to their posts, so RSS reading has almost fallen by the wayside for me as well.

And microbursts on Twitter are not comprehensive enough to replace more in depth posts on one’s site. It seems to me that these things work best, when they work together.
