"Thinking about launching your own blog? Here's some friendly advice: Don't. And if you've already got one, pull the plug.
Writing a weblog today isn't the bright idea it was four years ago. The blogosphere, once a freshwater oasis of folksy self-expression and clever thought, has been flooded by a tsunami of paid bilge.
'Blogging is simply too big, too impersonal, and lacks the intimacy that drew me to it.'
Twitter - which limits each text-only post to 140 characters - is to 2008 what the blogosphere was to 2004.
@WiredReader: Kill yr blog. 2004 over. Google won't find you. Too much cruft from HuffPo, NYT. Commenters are tards. C u on Facebook?"

Oh yeah, because Twitter is so intimate. I think that article is crap.
"Just because you can't be the best, don't even play"...as if that's what blogging was supposed to be about anyway. I think that's a crappy motto.
I thought blogging wasn't supposed to be rankings, about "Google finding you"... That is what makes it impersonal.
the death of blogs has been announced annually for the past 4 years.
This article poses an interesting view point. I disagree as well with it. Makes me wonder where blogs will be in the future or what they will turn into?
