It’s a fairly good statement to say that blogging in general will likely be more and more absorbed into the main-stream media, leaving independant bloggers a bit fewer and farther between. But unlike amateur radio, which has all but died today due to licensing and equipment costs, independant blogging will always be around. All one needs is a modicum of technical and writing knowledge and a website like Blogger or Wordpress.com to host a blog for free.
Even if in these tough economic times, sites like Wordpress.com and Blogger start paid models, it’s easy enough for one to pay $10 for a domain, and $3 a month for enough webhosting to host all but the biggest of blogs. This is simply not a medium that will die as easily.
Get over it. The blogosphere isn’t dead, just different. | JustinFlood.com
