Blogging is Dead?


Bloggers, this article from Patrolmag.com might interest you...

Who Killed The Blogsphere?

The intro:

The blogosphere is dead, and we killed it.

Valleywag blogger Paul Boutin thinks amateur blogging, the backbone of the blogosphere, has been killed by overproduced and machine-style blogs. For him, such blogs are not really blogs. Conclusion: real blogging is dead. But is it really? Blogging is harder, yes, but that doesn’t mean it’s dead. Bloggers are better, their products are better, and the better amateurs are pushing out the stuck-in-their-parents’-basement amateurs. It’s called competition.

While blogging isn’t what it was in 2004, where anyone with a pocket protector, a keyboard, and partially refined thoughts could rise to blogofame, it’s still alive. The rules have just changed.
