Is the A-List Dead?

Link: The Death Of The A-list. It is not clear to me whether the A-List is dead, but if not dead then clearly dying.

Why? for many of the reasons cited in the link and for others that are not. The "A-List" thing is like an artist that has a "great run" but inevitably fades. Fans move on. New fans are born. People begin to roll their own A-List. Whatever.

I mean who really gives a crap about the Yahoo/Microsoft deal besides the tech echo chamber? They have turned this piece of news into a kind of "Internet Tabloid" rant. It's like the constant rants about KM within the legal tech community. The cool thing is not talking about it but rather using it as a competitive advantage.

There is a perceptible shift taking placed between interest in people talking about technology and interest in applying it. I much prefer the latter. As far as I can tell most business owners do as well.

The "times they are a changing" and it is time to get busy doing.
