Are Social Web Pages Indeed Producing Blogs Irrelevant?

I came across an exciting weblog these days courtesy of LinkedIn (linked beneath), that essentially asks the question, are social internet sites indeed generating blogs irrelevant? I had by no means definitely thought it about it that considerably, but then I began to think of my very own user behavior.

Perhaps Other folks Do not Act Like Me

I employed to study blogs all the time and nonetheless do, occasionally. But, I'm a lot a lot more active on LinkedIn, Facebook, and Twitter, due to the fact the barrier to accessing and interacting appears a lot less painful.

For instance, in one particular application (Tweetdeck), I can handle all three of my accounts on those web-sites. If I wish to post one thing, I can enter it when and post it out to any or all of the web pages. If my post exceeds a known character limit, the program is sensible enough to let me know. Plus, just about any individual I interact with has access to my posts and these that do not, can simply search and uncover me/my posts.
Quite quick, huh?

But I'm Reading This!

Rather true. But how did you obtain it? Most likely, you came in from one particular of these other websites exactly where this weblog was posted (and also the blog's analytics assistance this). So, the genuine question is, can social media replace the require for a blog or will we get to a point exactly where 140 characters is more than adequate space to share our message.

A Basic, But Possible Instance

The blog I mentioned in the opening paragraph (that is also linked below) spends pretty much a complete page talking about how today's youth is becoming much less and less probably to blog. But, following reading the weblog, couldn't the entire issue be shortened to this: Youth less likely to weblog, does not have attention span for it. Favoring FB, LinkedIn, Twitter as well as other channels. I mean, when could be the final time you had been recapping an article or blog to a friend and it took longer than a sentence or two tell them what it is about?

The Long term, in 140 Characters or Much less

Within the late 90's, many websites had message boards and discussion forums. But, within the early 00's, numerous of those disappeared in favor of blogs and chat technologies. Why? For the reason that forums is usually difficult to navigate, cumbersome to moderate, and nightmarish from an UI perspective. Are not a number of these complaints getting made about blogs nowadays?

Maybe it's time to seriously look at the notion that social media may very well be the one particular replacing blogs, the way they replaced discussion forums.
