Blogging 'set to peak next year'

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('BBC', 'T')he blogging phenomenon is set to peak in 2007, according to technology predictions by analysts Gartner.


It would be interesting to sort the things that will peak by year, then you could find out which year that has the most things peaking, and make that the super-peak of civilization.

"Things" is too general. Where do you draw the line between something that is significant enough and a mere anecdote? And what about the peaking of similar things? Do they count as one or several peaks?

Yeah, I said this a while ago in a thread about fish or something peaking. Thanks for stealing it. But yeah, that will be one hell of a shitty day. But after that peak of peaks, there won't be too many more peaks left (at least on a daily or yearly basis), so the situation won't deterorate as quickly.

You need ambiguity so you can have arguments between peak-peakers and peak-cornucopians who say we can always have more peaks if we are prepared to pay for them.

How about "and credit goes to mekrob who I don't remember reading but also seems to be against the free exchange of ideas posted on public bulletin boards". :)
