Well, I wasn't sure about the reference to kudzu, either. But after a little kudzu research, I don't think it's a very friendly reference. It turns out kudzu, in America, is invasive and grows out of control in the Southeast. Not nice, Ms. Hunter.  But we probably shouldn't  feel to threatened by Ms. Hunter's call to arms. It turns out that she throws out any remaining credibility at the end of the article.

You see apparently, Ms. Hunter never covered the tech beat, either in Chicago, or for her previous Canadian gigs.  You see, had she covered, well anything remotely related to tech, I'm guessing she would have heard the phrase "early adopters."  Well, she hasn't, because throughout the whole article she cites blogs as the domain of "early adaptors." 

But putting that aside, her closing is a doozy.

In the end, who has time to blog? After reading four newspapers each day and my e-mails and doing my work, I've had it. Blogging remains a luxury for the young -- or the bored.

I guess I should apologize for wasting your time. I mean I shouldn't have spent all that time explaining the blogosphere to Ms. Hunter, given that it's such a waste of time. But I'm no therapist, and I don't know where she was coming from. Perhaps she was intimidated by the fact that Calitics had the best coverage of the CDP Convention. Or perhaps she doesn't understand the symbiotic nature of blogosphere and the MSM. Or, well, whatever, but somebody is a bit nervous.

But, Ms. Hunter, thanks for the shout out to Calitics. Any attention, misguided or not, is a boost to the blogosphere. Thanks for the help.
