The News of My Death Has Been Greatly Exaggerated - Blogging is Not Dead

By

The Internet is such a fickle place - what is hot today is like bell bottom jeans of yesterday... just so out of style.

2009 has seen an explosion in the world of Social Media with the growth in popularity of sites like Twitter, Facebook and LinkedIn. Because of this, the golden child of 2008, "The Blog" appears to some</> to be yesterdays news.

It is my personal belief that the blog as we know it today, will definitely continue to evolve - but I also believe that the blog is and will continue to be the very foundation of social networking, or social marketing, or social media as the phenomenon is also referred too.

You see, with Social Networking sites - all anyone is able to do is give glimpses as to what is happening. Often times a tweet or a comment on a wall is just a teaser of what is happening - it's like watching a movie trailer and thinking you know everything about the movie - well you don't.

Blogs often refer to social sites and social sites often refer to blogs for 'the rest of the story'.

John you make a great point and although all the social media can be overwhelming at times -- it is the new age and we have got to keep you.  Our younger generations are on it --- and they even have a language all their own.  Social Media is the way of the land.  Glad I kinda sorta get it.

I think blogging will be a better way to interact with people you haven't met and social media sites are great for keeping up with old friends
