One thing about my predictions for last year that puzzled me was being mistaken about the cresting of the blogging phenomenon. The numbers said it should peak, and begin to decline, but as the year went by there was no sign of a decline. But could I have been right after all? Take a look at this chart prepared by Jon Udell measuring subscriptions to RSS feeds on bloglines. Udell offers the opinion that it's cyclic, but I see a crest there, right at September, 2004. Maybe that was the turning point, and subscriptions will churn but remain stable (that also seems to be happening with my newsletter). Or maybe the blogging phenomenon is just taking a breather.
