The Death of Blogs

Well, some of them, anyway.

As weblogs proliferated earlier this decade, Andy Warhol's famous aphorism was modified to read, "In the future, everyone will be famous to 15 people." Now it looks like Warhol was right after all: Thanks ...

Hubris - that's my thought. I think it is easy for a full-time, in print journalist whom has a history of demonstrating disdain for blogging to use their bully pulpit to entirely misread the Gartner Inc. numbers. Perhaps interviewing and/or attending those who get the whole Web 2.0 phenomenon would provide a more productive analysis in the future?

Writing is my passion and so I blog and i know that in a way or another i do touch other people's lives because of my blog. I love blogging about the wonderful love of God. =)

Lets face it, America has simply made itself into nothing but a basket case. Truth and honesty where is it anyway anymore even all the way up to the President of this United States of America. Where is our privacy anymore, actually being destroyed by our very Government? America speaks of Democracy yet acts like the most far-reaching Empire the world has ever known. Every other nations is now America's enemy etc., etc., etc. One walks into a bank today and yes, there is thick bullet proof glass. Anyway, am I blogging with these comments? I am speaking as a legal, yes as a legal immigrant of 51+ years and am also a Staunch Conservative Christian Republican. I reapeat the question: Is this blogging?

So far blogging's been weirdly good for me. My blogs on Crosswalk.com and Christianity.com have grown by 1500 views a month since they started in April; and my Wordpress mirror site for that work is now getting 1500 views a week. That said, it IS a challenge to every day come up with something worthy of the attention readers who are kind enough to pay you attention. (And, um, I don't. I post something about every other day.) So far I'm good with it until ... my head explodes, or whatever.

Perhaps a final note on the Churchill Blog might read... "The reports of my death are greatly exaggerated. [continued at Churchill Facebook Notes]"

I blog regularly. I have three blogs for three different purposes. Mostly I blog because it is a way for me to practice my writing skills and to get feedback from readers about my writings. It also is a 'form of witness' in that I have people come by who are interested in seeing what a 'radical disciple' might say about the world.

Excellent article. I wondered how people could take so much time to say so little. Mark Roberts blogs were interesting but I will probably stop reading them now. i want to read article from knowledgeable pastors. People who have to write but still have to stand up on Sunday and say something relevant to their people. Pastor's who still visit at least occasionally and still attend meetings. These are the women and men who I want to read.
