I've registered for Gnomedex 5.

Why?

I want to bounce an idea off people. A concept that won't fit in a blog entry.

And I want to share this concept with a small crowd of visionaries with the experience and expertise to know what to do with the idea, or for them to tear it apart so I know what I need to bring back to the drawing board. They will be at Gnomdex.

What's my idea?

Now that blogging is practically everywhere, we are going to face a new problem. Too many blogs.

I predict we will see a blogging implosion from it's own popularity.

There are too may blogs to read, and the less popular ones are going fade away, leaving us with the blog equivalent of newspapers.

Choice is good, but we don't really need dozens of online book stores, auction sites, or pet food stores, and we don't really need dozens of blogs about the same mp3 players, digital cameras, and right-wing conspiracies. Rather than weed out the less-popular, I think I have an idea that will keep everybody who wants to blog interested in blogging, and won't require us to read a Scoble-riffic 1000 blogs to keep up with the topics we're interested in.

I have an idea, and I look forward the sharing it at Gnomdex, and I'm looking forward to hearing everybody else's ideas.

BTW, thanks to Steve Rubel and Brad Wilson for the heads up. And I plan on posting the idea here too, but I'm still trying to decide if I should have the idea looked over by a patent-lawyer-type-of-person first. (Not so that I can lock it up, but so that I can make sure nobody else can.)
