Paul Kedrosky and Stowe Boyd argue that structured blogging will fail because people are lazy and they want their own way of saying things. They are right: the vast majority of bloggers will not use structured blogging, just like the majority of bloggers don't use tags, the majority of Wikipedia readers don't edit its articles and the majority of people who buy stuff on Amazon don't write reviews. I think that solutions adopted by niches can provide value even if they don't go mainstream, a very little number of users with passion can let us afford a very large number of "free riders".
