People enjoy reading blogs because they WANT the long format. To suggest that Twitter or Facebook will cut into blogging suggests to me that you really don't understand why blogs are appealing.Mack Collierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02723628321171539590noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24784219.post-54314581292254237492007-08-01T08:46:00.000-05:002007-08-01T08:46:00.000-05:00If there's one platform of social media that is he...If there's one platform of social media that is here to stay - it is blogging. <BR/><BR/>I find it quite amazing how fairly clever people like Rubel are blinded by "leisure" or so called "phatic communication" tools like twitter etc. <BR/><BR/>Blogging is a series, time consuming communicative activity (even if you write about silly stuff) and it's definitely not for everyone. <BR/><BR/>It might not be a mass communications tool but as a community tool for thought leadership, two-ways communications, breeding ideas, and multi-participants brainstorm it is the best platform out there.Oh Babyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15393253541446755104noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24784219.post-68380875069623230082007-07-31T14:50:00.000-05:002007-07-31T14:50:00.000-05:00Way to go CK!

This "end of days" has long been predicted, but I don't think it's ever going to come. We will however see a shift in blogging patterns.

WOM has never died and if we evolve to new platforms then, so be it. <BR/><BR/>While tools may change--and blogging seems far from going away--the trend of two-way communications isn't going anywhere. Plus, I've already gotten enough out of the blogging practice to last a lifetime so if it goes down, it served me well.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24784219.post-27507909463384540712007-07-30T21:12:00.000-05:002007-07-30T21:12:00.000-05:00Didn't these same experts spend the past three yea...Didn't these same experts spend the past three years telling marketers that businesses and individuals "had to blog", or become fossils?<BR/><BR/>Makes ya not want to listen to folks anymore, and just focus on producing good content (with integrity) for your community ... and honestly, that's what the goal should have been from day one, regardless of the medium.MineThatDatahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14014200122021988374noreply@blogger.com
