Well according to Paul Boutin, in an article in Wired, as blogs are already dead and the Murderers have been Twitter, Flickr and Facebook. In his article, we recommend not to start a new blog and if we have a recommended stop. He claims that due to the influx of professionals to the blogosphere, there is no space for amateur writers, who want to communicate their ideas and use a blog as a means of expression. To support its argument that the Top 10 of Technorati, a blog is not a single author, on the contrary these are institutional blogs, and in many cases could be considered that are online journals that can produce up to 30 days post quality, enough for the average blogger, Suffocate get traffic. Also mention the fact that Jason Calacanis, one of the first bloggers blog has officially closed with these words: “blog has become something so big, so impersonal, and lost the intimacy that drew me to him,” Calacanis actually only keeps your Twitter account and a newsletter distributed by subscription.
Does this mean that we should leave Blogger, then no. As you point out Mathew Ingram and Seamus McCauley on their blogs, is the classic position to bring something new to overcome the former, and it was thought that radio could end up with books, TV with radio, or more recently the Internet with the TV , but the fact is that there are simply more supply competing for public attention. Furthermore, as Ingram points out, the blogosphere is not for everyone, it never was more, is for those who wish to write, those who do not want to do now is simply because Twitter or Facebook, and perhaps for millions of human beings that is sufficient, but there will always be a group who want to continue writing and speaking out through their blogs, because otherwise would not do in conventional media. McCauley said that even Boutin’s article is only intended to drive traffic to scandal, I do not think so, simply states a fact that this is happening and the lack of progressive bloggers to maintain their active blogs, statistics show it is only a small percentage of blogs are updated weekly, is not an easy task by the way, keep this blog consume many hours of my free time and more free time that is reduced because it needs more work. It is precisely because of the ease to update Twitter and Facebook that have had this sudden boom.
A blog is definitely half Elitisto, is not for everyone (or should I say is not for fools) out of jokes is not easy to blog or read, or write, and not for the masses of literature, all trying to read one book per month is simply a nonsense, but there will always be writers and readers always eager to discuss either oppose or support by adding a new point of view, to a post. This is something that lacks for example conventional media, the interactivity of blogs is still and by far the most important contributions to our culture.
