The more troubling thing is if you look at the Techmeme Leaderboard and start reading the posts in the blogs there isn't much real analysis. These top bloggers are nothing more then Web 2.0 press release stenographers. As you said, it's just that they're louder and bigger than anyone else. I fear how much the echo chamber is making us more stupid. I agree man.

Perhaps the onus is on the influencers to encourage folks to look around and experience a diversity of opinions? Of course, I'm sure that seems kinda self-destructive. Great post,
