Hmm … ok, so blogs have gone out of fashion. The interesting thing is, that blogs cater to a specificneed for communication. A YouTube channel or a Facebook page, they have completely different patterns of update and of interaction. I wonder what kind of medium fulfills this role in today’s Internet?
And then there is the sort of blog where interaction still happens. Paul Lester comes to my mind. I mean, Paul is just an extraordinarily nice guy - and he is a communicator. I’m not 🙂
Well, as I said, I won’t stop blogging. I’m just wondering 😄
Here’s an image seen while walking through Villach on a sunny day. Triumph is one of the big old manufacturers of underwear around here and the “magic” advertised in the window is something about no wires. Well, whatever, but I found it funny to see the word magic in the same context as these “mannequins”, magically reduced to a bare minimum.
The Song of the Day is “It’s Magic” by Doris Day. Hear it on YouTube.

Since your previous post I have tried to find some statistics on this subject but I have come up empty handed so far. I haven't found anything recent or directly relevant. As you say, blogs cater to a specific communications need. I find that the exchanges on the blogs I follow (including Paul's), even on my own, to be far more engaging than anything I find on Facebook or YouTube. Even Flickr, I dare say. But perhaps that's only because on these blogs, it is quite often the same small group of people who communicate and exchange ideas and thoughts. Anyway, I'm glad to know you'll keep blogging. Rest assured, I'll keep reading. And looking. And listening 🙂
