Comments on: Is Blogging Dead? Yep, That Old Chestnut Again http://dannybrown.me/2010/01/21/is-blogging-dead-yep-that-old-chestnut-again/ The Human Side of Media and the Social Side of Marketing Mon, 13 Feb 2012 06:36:25 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: dannybrown http://dannybrown.me/2010/01/21/is-blogging-dead-yep-that-old-chestnut-again/#comment-35723 dannybrown Tue, 05 Oct 2010 15:45:41 +0000 http://dannybrown.me/?p=10130#comment-35723 @Sushi Couldn't agree more, mate. It's like folks saying newspapers are dead, or news releases. As long as people have a need for something, there'll be a demand. And going by the stats from Technorati, there's never been a bigger demand for blogs. @Sushi Couldn’t agree more, mate. It’s like folks saying newspapers are dead, or news releases.

I may be cynical, but I'm not that cynical. Saying blogging is dead is saying that people will communicate in only segments of 140 characters for the rest of civilization.

There's such a crossover at the minute between what defines a blog and website that a lot of folks think it's simply a website. In that respect, then yes, blogging would appear dead. But you're right - it's anything but, and I'm often of the same mind as you that a lot of it is down to linkbait. Hey ho :) It’s a good point, Rich.

I was reading a study today regarding moms and marketing, and it clearly shows that more than 50 percent read blogs regularly (and this number is trending up). Of course, there is also an increasing number of people who cannot distinguish a blog from a Web site or news site. My intern even demonstrated her uncertainly the other day. She said she believed one story over another because one was on a blog and other was on a news site. As it turned out, they were both blogs, with the one she dismissed authored by a respected journalist. All my best, Rich Danny,

If I didn't have an interest in replying to you here, or replying to Grant there, then you would be correct in your assumption.

If agreed, then wouldn't you also agree that said subscriber -- who may be reading this back-and-forth debate between you and me right now -- knows what a blog is, grasps its value, and wouldn't be swayed by opinions that blogging is dead?
