This will sound ironic from somebody that just took a job with a Silicon Valley PR firm, but there is life beyond the valley. That comment was inspired by a post from Dave Coustan analyzing Scoble's blogging is over meme. Here, here Dave. Good stuff.
When you get ingrained in a culture you do lose some relativity, especially the ability to see the world around you. At the recent PRSA International Conference, there are hundreds (and thousands) of folks that are just learning about blogging. It's all new to them. The excitement and discovery is there.
Robert's comment about TechMeme is also somewhat narrow, "We’ve gotten too caught up in the TechMeme games." What's funny is that I speak with PR groups all the time about blogging/social media....and I never mention TechMeme because it doesn't really matter to a large percentage of people/clients. As Jeremy might say, it's not sexy either :-)

*I* don't even know what TechMeme is. I mean, I do *now*, but I hadn't heard of it until I saw Dave's post, and Googled it. I'm not going to be visiting the site on anything resembling a regular basis, though. It's just not interesting to me.

@Amber - that's why I always tell Gabe that the real power is WeSmirch. :)
