Blogging is dead-long live blogging

More from Andrew Keen in the Indy this morning.

Last week Web 2.0 was said to be dead,this morning it is blogging.

He writes that

in the face of the dramatic explosion of real-time social media services such as Twitter, the future of blogging is far from certain.


He may though have a point.There are many people whose blogging output has fallen since the advent of the twitter phenonoma.

Keen quotes the words of Hermione Way, the London-based founder of Newspepper.com and the presenter of Techfluff.tv who said that "Blogging as we know it is dead,"

But the important as Keen maintains is blogging as we know it.However the open-source foundations of platforms such as Wordpress means that blogging will survive as a as a real-time social media personal portal.
