According to Eric:
"BlogWerds Media believes that the evolution of social media means getting focused on valuable yet underserved content niches. While a select few blogs and news memes get repetitive attention from 'all things to all people' content aggregators and social news sites, the vast majority of news stories and social media participation simply gets lost in the ether."
