This began as a response to a comment left by Marshall Kirkpatrick to an earlier post of mine. My belief is that it's content that drives the apps. You need something or someone to go first. With RSS it was Wired, Red Herring, Motley Fool and Salon then the early blogs then the NY Times and it blasted off.
