Only recently I've noticed that Google searching will deliver me to poorly designed sites crammed full of text. I used to almost immediatly trust those sites, but now the poor design of Top google sites has begun to bother me. Following links from one blog to another is currently my prefered means of finding good content to read. It's almost like I can allow my peers on the internet to filter the web for me.

This guy is really kickin' it "ol skool". I got a good laugh, but you have a point. Your presentation should reflect the latest technology. Being unfamiliar with new trends and techniques equals death in this biz. Love the “IBM 386 on the desktop”. This guy is really kickin’ it “ol skool”. I got a good laugh, but you have a point.

It's a bit like high school, everyone wants to be seen hanging out with the popular kids.

However, I don't think it says as much as your post implies. Feed readers may only show the ability to drive traffic in one area (blog)--whereas a client may need it in another (video). Overall point about social proof, however. What social proof constitutes is a bit subjective and particularly protean in the new media space.
