Blogging: Behind the Times?
Possibly. Some valid cases can be made. People are more into micro-blogging at this moment, it’s the hot thing. Myself, I don’t think blogging is getting old. It’s still a major backbone on the Internet.
The blog style site has become very popular. Many sites, even though they aren’t exactly blogs, are blog-style. It’s a good format. Blog-style sites can house a lot of information and discussion in an easy-to-read way. This basically sounds like a good format for information on the Internet, to me.
Computer World has an interesting article, and tidbit:
These days, the online experience is often about Facebook updates and 140-character Tweets. More stream of consciousness, fewer essays with links. So Steve Rubel – formerly author of the Micropersuasion blog – says he’s moving from a blog to a “lifestream” using the the Posterous service.
Blogging, says this chronicler of online trends, “feels old.”
A lot of other good points are made, check out the whole article.
Is blogging getting old? Possibly. Is it the hot thing right now? No. Is blogging here to stay? I would say yes.
