The blogosphere is in full bloom. The rest of the internet has wilted

Discuss! If we wish.

“If you log into Dave Winer’s blog, Scripting News, you’ll find a constantly updated note telling you how many years, months, days, hours, minutes and seconds the blog has been running. Sometime tomorrow morning the year field will switch to 30.”

Running a blog for 30 years is no small feat. Dave Winer’s Scripting News is a big deal that has an enduring community which he’s built from scratch over that time.

This also resonates:

“In my experience, most journalists failed to understand the significance of the blogosphere. This was partly due to the fact that, like Dr Johnson, they thought that “No man but a blockhead ever wrote except for money”, and so bloggers must be weird.”

My position: everyone should blog. Every new voice adds something new to the conversation. And long-term bloggers like Dave have shown the way.
