With all the tweeting and Facebook posting, the middle blog form seems to be losing its kick. Is Blogging the Erie Canal of communication? Vital for only a short period of time, quickly replaced by what made more sense: the railroad?
When chat, email, tweeting, posting, texting, blogging and post-tweeting become one, we will be in a situation that is about content and less about form. Why always these forms?
I do not know if the forms arise from a need in the culture or if the culture adheres to the advancing whims of technology. It is probably a mash-up of the two.
I remember my first answering machine. I was cheap. It hardly ever worked right.

I blog, therefore I am.
Blogging by the masses has been dead for a long time.
You've got to have a specialty: "this is my blog about sheet music collecting"; or "this is my blog about OCD sufferers I have dated."
Still, yours works. I gave up on mine years ago...well, 20 months ago at least.
