Where is his source? I'd love to meet him because his view is terribly old fashioned - that is the sought of thing i'd have heard 6 years ago and blogging is still in its prime with some businesses just starting it out. Depending on your blog you can make it big but the majority of people (me included) blog for the passion: mine being technology. Thats made my day :) Thanks for that.

I can't even comment in 140 words or less! And wouldn't a blog be SO 2003? That's when blogs really boomed on the web. If you can't pay for Flickr, your pictures drop off after 200. What kind of a photographer or graphical artist can only live with having 200 pieces of their work shown? Why not buy webspace and make your own gallery? I remember back in 2004 someone told me I needed a Flickr, a Facebook, a Twitter. I didn't. I still don't. A blog and a personal site are enough for me to care for on the web!

There is plenty of over-hype by bloggers about how you can get rich easily. But the idea that they are dead is not accurate at all. Now if you want to say 95% of them are dead yeah that is true. Just look how many blogs don't have a post in the last 6 months. But blogging is alive and well for those that are willing to commit to it. And yes, as you mention, you can reach a point where other methods of communication might be better suited for much of what you want to communicate. That doesn't mean blogs are dead.

Call me old fashioned, but I enjoy communicating in whole words and cogent thoughts.

For some, there may be more to it than just chasing the buck $$$ and generating ‘traffic’.

Blogging will not be dead, so is the Internet, the Newspaper, the Magazine, Microsoft, Yahoo....everything! May be blog is not as hot as few years back, it is just simply because blog has grown up, and media only like "New", "Young" stuff... Why make this a big deal…?
