Congratulations! I’m constantly checking your site for the latest news and reviews. I’m especially fond of the video reviews and unboxings. Keep up the great work, now where’s the OQO model 2 review? I had decided on getting the Fujitsu P1610 after reading your review and your decision to keep it but now I’m loving the small form factor of OQO model 2. I’m waiting to see what you, the GottaBeMobile folks, Carrypad and Pocketables have to say about it.

Researchers in population biology have noticed that new species originate in unusual niches and then move into more populated areas. Similarly, researchers in economics have noted that new products or companies originate in unusual “spaces” and then expand into the mainstream.

I think there is a similar effect in journalism, where the new talent will come from enthusiasts in unusual niches, and the great mainstream journalists of the future will prove themselves through blogging and then be involved increasingly in the mainstream media.

Remember this when a major TV network or newspaper choses an anchor or editor who rose up through blogging.

It is no surprise to see people like James Kendrick rising in the market. This is what you expect from efficient markets.

Content is king on the net boys, and so is persistence; JK and KT excel at both! Great coverage at CES boys!
