Here's why you follow feeds even though they're obscure and unremarked (sorry Brian): because when you keep an eye on interesting people, you eventually see interesting things. Like this visual presentation of a recent talk by Jim Groom. Note the core of the talk in the centre, titled "today: a domain of one's own." This, rather than a boatload of pundits and panels, is the best guide to seeing what the future will hold. The drawing, illustrated above, was made by Lisa Thiessen.
