While reading Dan Cederholm’s blog, I found this small gem:
Like anyone who used to blog with frequency pre-2005, I’d like to post here more often — not just to fill up bits and bytes, but to write again. Remember when blogs were more casual and conversational? Before a post’s purpose was to grab search engine clicks or to promise “99 Answers to Your Problem That We’re Telling You You’re Having”. Yeah. I’d like to get back to that here.
Then again, history teaches us that it probably won’t happen.

I guess this is why I blog less now.
Incidentally, I have been listening to a lot of Electroclash (aka Electro IV aka New wave III aka Synthpop II) during those past months. Fischerspooner is excellent. It’s healthy noise…

The days of blogging [casual blogging] is over :p… specially if you have twitter and facebook :p.
Though, technical blogs won’t die.
So in the end bloggers who keeps blogging and who will continue to do so.. are those bloggers who didn’t give a shit about what ppl would like to see but what he wanted to see
.
I myself i have not been blogging much… probably coz am still heartbroken

Tu as raison. Peut on dire que le blog se perd avec tous ces réseaux sociaux ?
Je vois que beaucoup de monde écrive et post sur Facebook… Allons nous vers une uniformité et convergence des plateformes ?
Malgré le nombre croissant de sites, blog, etc … permettant de s’exprimer nous pouvons constater qu’il est possible de poster sur différentes plateformes à partir d’une seule.

Je ne pense pas que la platforme utilisée soit déterminant. Ce que Dan Cederholm dit est que, par rapport à 2005, aujourdh’ui pas mal de bloggeurs blogguent avec une stratgie AdSense (et autres services similaires.) Il n’est pas “pour” ou “contre.” Il constate.

ya thats true many bloggers are falling in the sensationalism trap and prefer to generate traffic…think its a vicious cycle for all media whether its old or new…the need for money always there…thats sad cos the true blogging spirit i.e to act as a new democracy platform or a new citizenship venue is also being tempted with money like the old media…

[...] Since launching my noulakaz.net blog in 2005, I’ve written a lot of posts, received countless comments and responded to most of them. As a matter of fact, I love blogging but I’m doing it less now for reasons I already mentioned. [...]
