The Future of Blogging?

ikram — June 9, 2007 / 6:36 pm

Ian Delaney, a London-based journalist and the editor of NMK, shared his notes about the future of blogging. These notes was prepared for a roundtable discussion organized by Microsoft and Weber Shandwick (one of their PR houses). I will write down here some:

The future of blogging must be connected to why people blog now

  • It’s about our current nature [I am a socialist, not an essentialist]. There is currently a human urge to communicate, share and to connect. Most of us [at the event] are professional writers in some sense and feel that more keenly than most perhaps and do it every day anyway, but it’s not just us.
  • Equal current human urge to make a mark or be recorded. Symptomatic of our sense of anonymity and alienation in post-industrial world?, though diaries are hardly a new thing.
  • As a convenient tool for knowledge management. Search on my blog is faster and better than search on my computer. [shame on you, MS]. Easier to use than a wiki.
  • Self-promotion or business promotion. [let’s be honest, eh]
  • Public spaces that serve a community function (the local pub, the playground, the park, the village square) no longer exist, are thought unsafe or are no longer fulfilling that function. So we seek alternatives. I have found many RL friends through my blog - that wouldn’t happen if I stood in the park: I’d get arrested or something.
