The Death of Our Blog Community

Facebook has made blogging obsolete. Blogs rushed onto the crazy internet scene all the kids are doing these days and rushed out just as quickly. I suppose this is no surprise as this is the trend most software technology follows.

Is it worth posting something worthwhile here anymore? Even the blogger program is so excited I'm posting something, it is frantically saving my work every few seconds. Our blogs have been good to us. Is it right for us to discard them like cheap whores? Or the whores that were expensive because your buddy didn't check out their background and they ended up being trans-gendered? Is that right?

I just don't know. I feel like with the death of blogs, a small part of me that may have been the only part left that enjoyed the internet after chat rooms died, then IMs, then Ultima Online, is also now expired.

I have to agree with you. It was bazaar...around this time last year everyone suddenly stopped blogging. I let my blog just expire. Social networking sites changed the game, but also the fact that large companies finally got on the blog bandwagon and squeezed out everyone else.

I believe the same thing will happen with Twitter this year. It's everywhere and I don't know many people that are still using it(And as a 2010 prediction I think Time Warner will purchase Twitter and use it to source news for CNN.) As soon as the early adopters have left, it just goes downhill.

On the flip side I think facebook has introduced a new type of collaborative blogging which in some ways is the evolution of chat rooms/IMs and blogs (except creativity is absent on facebook for the most part).

Google Wave reminds me of the early chatroom days. So if you're feeling down you should start using that and getting your friends on it as well. I sent you an invite.

I think we just get board with technology and are constantly moving on to new things.
