Some say it's a fad. In a way I kinda agree. How will it evolve? What will make it not a fad?
Future of blogging?

I dont care, fad or not, the SE traffic is fucking ridiculous
SIG TOO BIG! Maximum 120x60 button and no more than 3 text lines of DEFAULT SIZE and COLOR. Unless your sig is for a GFY top banner sponsor, you may use a 624x80 instead of a 120x60. Let me repeat... A 120 x 60 button and no more that 3 lines of DEFAULT SIZE AND COLOR text. -
It's a fad ... no way IMHO, it's already a well established business environment. When you have media networks relying on blogs for local and immediate sources of news, it's not a fad. When blogging software and service companies are being sold for 10's of millions of dollars, it's not a fad. And hell, when the Adult industry recognize it as a medium to promote / exploit, it's not a fad.
Again, IMHO, blogging is the evolved promise of the internet, making personal publishing actually approachable by the masses. Not the 10% of early adopters but the real 80% mass market. It's commoditised internet publishing.
The obvious evolution is the continuing support (making it easier) for the mass market users. Pod Casting is a classic example of the second evolution which is greater distribution and integration of all this new info.
As someone in the 'community' business I see a bright future for blogging and associated technologies to help people express and connect.Comment
