Is Blogging Dead?

Over on Tribal Blogs, Cardiogirl wrote this article outlining her thoughts on if Blogging was dead. Her over all review was that blogging was not dead, just reduced to those that write and those that just type have moved on.

I’m not so sure I fully agree with her. With the advent of Twitter and Facebook, I think the general population has moved away from blogging, and has moved to those venues. Even the major corporations skipped over blogging to go to these two venues. And the bloggers that are still out there seem to be writing less and less, and spending more and more time on Facebook and Twitter than their blogs.

Yes, there are still those bloggers out there that keep their blogs current with fresh content, publish often, and comment and read other blogs, but in general I think the fad of blogging has meet it’s hayday, and there will be some around for ever, but in general, I think the blogging world has pretty much moved on to other things.

Don’t get me wrong, I think that blogging is still a valid means, and I plan on sticking with it, but I do think it has had it’s day!

Half over…

…and I want to double the time off!

Well, my week off form work is all but half over, and I’m already wishing for more time off.

It has been a busy week of traveling to Ohio for a medical appointment to make sure my bad knee, given to me by the US Army, was still bad, and if to see if I could get a bump up in how bad it was (more money, and it is in pain ALL the time these days, gives out often, and I’m in a brace most of the time now), fixing the code behind ExposeYourBlog! and WORKING on getting Surf&Chat back in place (not quite there yet, but getting closer) in a manner that the system doesn’t bog down like it was. I have also been busy cleaning out my dresser, night stand, car, and closet. My wife wants me to clean up my books too, but there is no place to put them, and I’m not wanting to get rid of them…. I have also added more music to my music selection, equalized all the music in my collection so it all comes out with the same volume when it plays, and updated the autoDJ at Radio ExposeYourBlog! today.

Tribal Blogs and ExposeYourBlog! have joined up in partnership in what I think will be great for the blogging community! I look forward to this relationship growing stronger each day! (And if you don’t use either service for your blogs, you should sign up for both, and actively use them!)

Tomorrow I get to go to the dentist for a cleaning, anyone want to go for me? Please? Pretty please?

Busy times. But I’m having fun, and I’m getting some reading in to boot!!

Happy Days! (Till I go back to work Monday…)
