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.

Please click here to go to Delaney’s blog and read the rest of them.
