We're all sitting there, at the Northern Voice conference this weekend, listening to a few speeches on Citizen Media and the new forms of Journalism, when… I look across the room and witness someone knitting socks. Oh boy. Have we officially jumped the shark?

BTW, that happens to be Boris Mann's mom. She was just sitting next to her husband, soaking it all up. Nobody's jumped the shark. The blogosphere is just as crappy as it was before you read this post. You may go about your daily business.
