Blogging going the way of the telephone?
By Joel McDonald • Feb 9th, 2010 • Category: Blog, Just for Fun“A new study has found that young people are losing interest in long-form blogging, as their communication habits have become increasingly brief and mobile. Tech experts say it doesn’t mean blogging is going away. Rather, it has gone the way of the telephone and e-mail — still useful, just not sexy.” (Martha Irvine, The Associated Press)
At first, I was somewhat shocked that blogging was being called old fashioned, but then I realized that there are really two types of blogs, personal and niche. I’m thinking this study was based more on the former rather than the latter, especially considering how social networking is cited as a replacement to blogging.
Anyway, felt it was worth sharing!
