I am about to commit an act of meta-journalism. I’m sorry. I hate meta-journalism. I unfollowed GigaOm’s Mathew Ingram a fine writer on Twitter some time ago because I could not muster any more interest in articles about articles and blog posts about blogging. I believe that journalists like people in most professions vastly overestimate their own importance, significance, and interestingness.But I suppose if I’m going to go meta, an end-of-the-year post seems an appropriate venue; and for once I have something both meta and relevant to talk about.
