Are you a lasped blogger? If not, read on - you might become one this year, if predictions about the state of blogging in 2007 are any guide. This came in the wake of Gartner’s crystal ball gazing that saw the peaking of blogging by mid 2007.
Interestingly, SixApart’s Mena Trott last month said that Vox, a blogging-cum-social networking service that was launched commercially in October 2006, is “winning back burnt-out bloggers.” It earned Trott a coveted profile at the Economist in November. Burned-out bloggers sound oxymoronic, do they not? With the mobile phone video of Saddam Hussein’s raucous execution flying around the world (virtual and otherwise), perhaps moblogging is coming of age. Which begs the question of “how far availability on the internet should influence what is shown by mainstream media.”
