So, first the introduction of Jeremy :-)

Several years into this whole blogging thing, the technology and tools designed to facilitate this global conversation all suck.

Then, his conclusion.

The promise of the blogosphere is a loosely connected global network of conversations with an incredibly low barrier to entry. The reality is that the tools are still far too immature for the current scale of this growing network. Worse yet, most aggregators are designed to mimic e-mail or usenet news clients rather than embracing the highly connected nature of blog posts and comments, not the mention the typically short “decay” periods associated with the discussion around most posts.

I must say…I agree with this analysis. We need a kind of quantum leap in this field… Blogging means a *lot* of manual processes, which are all quite time-consuming.
