Henry Blodget, whose contributions to the blogosphere I really enjoy reading, has definitely reinvented himself (well, not quite, since he remains true to his journalist meets analyst role, but I digress). What I mean is that he’s repositioned himself in the sense that he’s gone from staunch bull of the Web’s first era to someone who questions the robustness of the Web’s current era of prosperity. While I agree with some that some of his posts tend to become too Armageddon Day-ish, I welcome the balanced view he represents. Mainly, I think at a time when most bloggers just rehash posts, adding a layer of deep analysis is welcome and something we take pride in doing ourselves at HipMojo.
With that being said, it’s interesting to note, that his Web 1.0 nemesis/counterpart at Morgan Stanley, Mary Meeker, has adopted a negative outlook, too, reports Venture Beat. Truth is, she is actually very bullish on many items, but she does ring a few alarm bells for the outlook of the US tech industry, one of the few remnants and vestiges of growth and virility in an increasing weakened economy and landscape. See her somewhat doomsday scenario in her report, here.
