Phil says the conference presenters have been well-prepared and studious. “We haven’t had enough bullshit. That’s what I’m here for.” He has three predictions:

1. “Blogs will merge with other media.” It’s already happening. Blogs and wikis and who knows what.

2. “We’ll have bloggers that aren’t people.” He points to Tivo’s recording history: a reverse chronological log of the system’s activities. He expects more apps to do this, including factory lathes and cars.

3. “We’ll start blogging things that aren’t bloggable today.” Blogging tools will offer “pools of richer expression,” new community services, etc.

He also predicts there will be a backlash against blogs once it goes mainstream.

(Phil says: We don’t have a single voice. We’re a chorus. On Monday we’re a cranky SOB and on Tuesday we’re a passionate fan of something.)

[Excellent bullshit! Really.]
