JP is musing about the customer perspective:
2009 is going to be about big changes in this space. I guarantee it. Put whatever’s left of your house and your savings on it.
People will not come to “my” blog. They will go to “their” feed aggregator, where they can read all the people they’re interested in reading. If they see something of interest, they will dig deeper and come to my blog.
People will not come to read “my” tweets. They will go to “their” tweet aggregator, where they can read all the tweets of all the people they’re interested in following. If they see something of interest, they will follow the links provided.
People will not come to see “my” pictures in Flickr. People will not come to hear “my” music wherever.
“My” time is over.
It’s a different perspective.
Readers want everything and everyone they read aggregated; they select what to read, when to read it, how to read it. How to read it, where to read it, what device to use.
Similarly, listeners want everything they listen to and everyone they listen to aggregated for them; watchers want everything they see and everyone they see aggregated for them.
